Brian Gutekunst Better Hope Devin Funchess Produces After Missing Out on DeAndre Hopkins and Robby Anderson

Does anybody know why the Green Bay Packers' braintrust refuses to equip Aaron Rodgers with superior talent at wide receiver opposite stud Davante Adams?

The Packers finally addressed their WR corps on Tuesday by buying low on free agent wideout Devin Funchess. It's a move that could pay dividends for Green Bay, but it's not a signing that fans should feel great about, considering the pass-catching talent that was previously available for the taking -- most notably DeAndre Hopkins, Robby Anderson, and Breshad Perriman.

General manager Brian Gutekenst had better be hoping that Funchess flashes in Wisconsin.

Funchess is a nice player, but he comes with great risk in terms of his durability. The former second-round pick signed a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts last season. However, he broke his collarbone in Week 1 and missed the remainder of the year.

In four seasons (61 games) with the Carolina Panthers, who drafted him in the second round in 2015, Funchess registered 164 receptions for 2,233 yards and 21 touchdowns. Not once in his career has he logged over 63 receptions.

At 6-4 and 225 pounds, he will be a unique perimeter threat for Rodgers, but there will be pressure on the 25-year-old to produce with the Packers after a lost season in Indy. No one else has any expectations for him, so how can Green Bay be relying on him so heavily?

Funchess is better suited playing second-fiddle to a star No. 1 receiver (or perhaps third- or fourth-fiddle), and he'll embrace that exact role in Green Bay.

He'll have plenty of opportunities to exploit favorable matchups, as opposing teams focus their attention on Adams, and Gutekunst will be hoping that the former Michigan Wolverine does just that. But wouldn't Anderson have fit better here?
