PCS Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Welcome to the Redskins Sir. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profiles/robert-davis?id=2558254 6'3"HEIGHT 33"ARM LENGTH 219LBS.WEIGHT 9 5/8"HANDS Quote OVERVIEW Davis wasn't recruited heavily out of high school because he played in a run-oriented offense, but the relative of longtime Carolina Panther Thomas Davis finished his career as the Panthers' all-time leading receiver (beating Kansas City Chiefs Albert Wilson's records). He was the team's second-leading receiver as a true freshman (44-711, four touchdowns) and then garnered honorable mention All-Sun Belt honors in 2014 with 50 catches for 732 yards and two scores. The next two seasons, Davis was a first-team all-conference pick, averaging 16.1 yards per catch in 2015 (61-980, six TD) and leading the Sun Belt in receiving yards per game (77.8, 67-968) and averaging 43.8 yards on his five touchdowns in 2016. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Big body with an NFL frame to bang. Bodies through his routes and uses size to push back against force. Former high school basketball player with high-point timing and above average ball skills in a crowd. Long arms and big hands give him extended catch radius. Has decent foot quickness for his size and should be able to see results from more route work on the next level. Able to go up and make athletic, twisting adjustments in mid-air to pull in errant passes. Can secure the catch through punishing hits. *Click Link For More* Quote DRAFT ANALYSIS: Washington is a height/weight/speed developmental athlete who tested exceptionally well during predraft workouts. Davis won't see many targets in 2017, but he has big-play potential down the road if coaches can help weld together his traits with the baseline nuances of the position. --Mark Dulgerian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmySmith Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Drafted for size. If he makes the team he's a starter. Otherwise he's not making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins Reparations Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Love Em'! I believe he had the highest SPARQ score in the draft if I am not mistaken. I also drafted him in the ES Mock Draft.

mistertim Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Interesting that he fell this far. Looks like he has size, speed, good hands (apparently VERY few drops), good body control, plays with an attitude. But from what I've read (and now seen a bit after watching those videos) he doesn't have very fast feet, isn't very good off the line (not sudden at all), struggles against press, and has sloppy routes. Luckily, the stuff he DOES have mostly can't be taught, while the stuff he doesn't mostly can. Should be interesting to see how he develops.

Should be interesting to see how he develops. if this guy had the exact same amount of catches/yards/tds playing for Clemson or Alabama or one of the big SEC schools he is a number one pick this year. to me the fact that he can catch the ball well make this a very interesting pick, and from all accounts is a very strong big kid who should also be able to block safeties and CBs well ala Garcon. Huge upside if he is coachable enough to be a better route runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sempre_victrix Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Big kid with a great vertical. Pretty fast, seems to track the ball well. I like this pick and he seems as good on paper as Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlesnake88 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Couple of things. one, how did this guy fall so far? His measurables are great! two, his quarterback has that back shoulder and fade pass down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsFanInSanAntonio Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 No matter what I hope the Ryan Grant experiment is over. Hopefully this kid will learn a lot from the two other tall receivers, and Jordan Reed while he is on the practice squad most likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His measurables are great! two, his quarterback has that back shoulder and fade pass down. Probably a combination of things. Being in the Sun Belt conference which means pretty weak competition, being in a system without much of a route tree, not being especially good off the line, running extremely sloppy routes.

Peregrine Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 You say he was drafted by size but... practically a 4.4 40 time. And he had production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxSpearheadxX Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Its all going to come down to learning route running and reading zones. He is a great special teams player so that will keep him on the team. If he can learn to use his feet correctly the way Terrell Pryor did (is still) he is a pro bowler, if not he's a great gunner on teams anyway.

Koolblue13 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Pryor is going to be great for a kid like this. Hopefully hes a worker and wants to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
