This isnt a seahawks topic, you are in the wrong forum.
And in your height formula your missing the fact that they are factoring in their giant qb, so they have advantage still.

Olsen is 6'6 as well. Funchess isn't quite as physical, but is smoother than Benjamin. He's also two years younger than Benjamin was last year as a rookie and had awful QB play at Michigan, but they like him and had a first round grade on him. Only time will tell.
Ginn is back as well. I have no idea how they'll stack up to the rest of the league but it's miles better than a unit whose possession receiver (Cotchery) couldn't catch and had Brenton Bersin as the #1 read on the Kam Quake play last January at the CLink

Funchess??? I watched him play with Michigan. He aint gonna amount to squat. He can't catch a cold. I think he sucks and was so glad Seattle did not draft him.

Sounds like you watched him at Michigan more than I did, which was not much. What I do know is that if you replace the word Funchess with Benjamin, Michigan with Florida State, and Seattle with 30 other cities, it's nothing but an echo from a year ago at this time.
Drops or not, he does appear to be a natural hands catcher. And Dave Gettleman deserves the benefit of the doubt for his amazing drafts so far. But only time will tell.

Yeah, I am from Michigan and watched him a lot. Frustrating player. Huge Wolverine fan.

This is just the reason why the Hawks took a WR like lockette this year and Richardson last year. The Hawks started a trend with bigger CBs, who will ultimately matchup well against big WRs.
Besides, how much havoc did he bears wreak on defenses last year?

Your point? It's still off topic
if that was the case you could make a topic about anything and find a way to tie the Seahawks into it.
Who gives a damn about what a Carolina rookie WR says about the Panthers?

The Panthers don't have a household name with that skillset anymore after axing the best player in team history, but they do have a guy, that, despite likely being anonymous at even Charlotte area shopping malls, had a quietly good rookie year and that they feel really good about. That would be Corey Brown, UDFA rookie from Ohio State. He had more yards, TD's, yards/catch than Richardson, and, like Richardson, battled injuries, appearing in less games than Richardson. http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/greg ... ony-062515

Benjamin at least made lots of plays over the course of the season, Funchess was a ghost for most of the year with his best game coming against App State.
I was wrong about KB last season though, so who knows, just was not a fan of Funchess at all.

I respect the opinion, but more food for thought-Benjamin was playing on a national champion with a Heisman winner, Funchess (in addition to battling injuries) was playing with a seemingly awful QB on a losing team. How that effects a young 20 year old as Funchess was has to be weighed-bad if you think he has a lot of growing up or improving to do, or good if you think age/potential/growth are on his side. Dave Gettleman obviously bet on the latter.

It kind of depends on what teams are doing on defense, as the NFL borked a lot of the bigger-CBs advantage by more aggressively flagging CB contact w/ WRs.
The Hawks defense was originally designed to mess with QBs and timing by pressing WRs and keeping them from getting off the line, and for those purposes, bigger WRs are actually a good counter-move. There's not much point in having a guy like Browner playing five yards off.
At this point though I don't think it's the size of the Hawks' CB that matters, but instead, it's their talent (and the presence of Thomas).

Pretty sure you need a rather good QB to wreak havoc in the NFL. #NotWorried
