He seems to have been drafted higher than expected. Looks like his draft stock rose recently. I'm not sold. I would've preferred an offensive tackle like Christian Darrisaw.

They should have taken Jenkins, an edge (their defense doesn't have one) or Newsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not even be a year-1 starter. My gut reaction is that Davis was a "reach" pick. But Rivera and Del Rio know a thing or two about LB play behind stalwart Dlines. Maybe they see something in Davis and how he fits into this defense that I am not and many prognosticators are not. He'll, McLaurin would have been a 1st round pick if we knew then what we know now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrepDC Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 At the beginning of this process, I had Davis as our 2nd pick with an OT in round 1. His pro day forced him into round 1 and I'm good with that. His is the type of LB you want in this coaching staff's hands. Lots of potential, but raw. As long as he's coachable, he should be a great addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times did he get misdirected or caught in the wash? Why didnt KY play him in 1st down most of the time? Watch his tape. He is an exceptional athlete. He is SLOW to react and gets trapped far too often. I will give RR the benefit of the doubt to get the guy ready. But to pass on JOK for him is laughable.

My top want was to trade down and get him but whatever he will be a major upgrade over Bostic. Military kid with a great background and football character as well. Daniel J. Is comparing him to Darius Leonard. He's a traditional LB, apparently super smart and gotta trust our coaches know LBer's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably looked at the prospects out there and thought JOK was too small to play the position and was really too much of a quasi-safety. So, they went with a more raw prospect who had all the ideal attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurseReversed Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I think it was the intangibles that sold them on Davis. Yea he is a super athlete but in his press conference I noticed an attitude to him that I really liked. He was very calm but confident and assertive. Not timid at all, someone who seemed like he would command attention and respect in a football huddle. But that is just a hunch on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoggingGod Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 This front office is so ****ing outdated. They don't believe in trades, they don't believe in securing a franchise QB, they don't understand positional value. This is another Bruce Allen/Scot McCloughan type regime that would rather go 7-10 every year to convince the fanbase they are always "one player away" rather than building a modern long term contender. **** you Ron, **** you Hurney, **** you Mayhew.

Warhead36 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I think we should brace ourselves for Darrisaw to fall out of the 1st completely. If a team as OL needy as the Colts is passing on him, he's dunzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
