PCS Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Welcome to the team young man. Reactions,info,and youtube videos to follow. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jamin-davis/32004441-5642-8592-9936-07896f5591cc HEIGHT 6' 3 1/2" WEIGHT 234 lbs ARMS 33" HANDS 9 1/2" Prospect Grade 6.35 WILL BE STARTER WITHIN FIRST TWO SEASONS Quote Analysis By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst NFL Comparison Kiko Alonso Overview Lightly experienced, but ascending inside linebacker prospect with excellent blend of size, length and pursuit talent. Davis plays with his pads squared to the line of scrimmage, operating with quick, lateral scrapes and a nose for finding the ball-carrier. He needs to improve his technique in taking on blocks and constricting run lanes. His vision, focus and field awareness are innate strengths that all play a part in his ability to play past blockers with his eyes and pursue with consistent fluidity to the direction of the running play. He can cover big tight ends. He also plays with anticipation and an above-average catch radius to make quarterbacks pay for taking him lightly in zone. Davis could use more seasoning before he's ready for full-time snaps but he should become a starter. Strengths Big linebacker with desired athleticism inside. Put a mark into every category, including blocked kick and defensive touchdown in 2020. Plays with impressive focus and vision. Gains ground quickly with clean lateral scrape. Peripheral vision to play around angle blocks. Displays ability to work off block quickly when positioning is right. Controlled pursuit transitions to tackle-ready platform. Combines length and play strength as optimal finishing tools. Coverage recognition to work high to low. Quarterbacks must respect his catch radius and ability to take it away. Weaknesses Has just 11 career starts under his belt. Talented, but inexperience will show at times. Needs to diagnose and respond just a shade quicker as a pro. Average toughness in his take-on of lead blockers. Room for improvement with hand usage and pad level as tackler. Underestimates pursuit angle from time to time. *Click Link for More* 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 He's a talent for sure. I'm excited what Rivera/Del Rio can do with him. I like the player but don't love the value at 19, but most likely we didn't get any good trade up offers so I'm fine with it. A stud athlete that our coaches can mold. He also seems to be able to play 4-3 LB and can also play in the 4-2 Nickel. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Someone convince me he's a good pick at that slot. I admit I don't know a lot about him. And I don't want to rush to judgment. But one thing that I do not like to hear the draft announcers mention multiple times, is that your 19th overall pick is a "project" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llevron Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 He sounds like he’s got a lot of talent, and with all the talent around him in defense he should be able to show it and take his time refining his game. I’m totally fine with that. I like adding to a strength. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraveWarrior Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Looks good, but I'm nervous about any pick in the top 20 where analysts say "should be a starter within 2 years." There was nobody else available at 19 that rates as an immediate starter? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I know absolutely nothing about this kid but apparently he's a helluva of an athlete and I trust Ron and company. Maybe he'll be the LB that can cover TE's that we've been missing for what seems like 20 years. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.redskins Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 This was a great pick, he is fast as heck. He is a humble kid. He will become an all pro and Micah Parsons will be out of the league in 4 years. This was a Ron pick for sure. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrison J Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Like the position of need we've filled but don't love the player as he is currently. Bit of a block magnet. Plenty of potential to develop though he's got that speed that can be a game changer. I'm not thrilled but I'm hopeful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Feels a little like we bought a body. At least they got a good one. We have guys who are well equipped to teach him the ins and outs, match that with this athlete and you have something special. Watching him grow and develop behind this D-line will be fun. He will be lined up for success. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nobody else available at 19 that rates as an immediate starter? Probably because he really only has one year of starting experience and that was last year. Albeit, he was fantastic last year. And then blew everyone away at the workout stuff so the measurables match the tape. And he's a great kid, interviewed well, comes form a military family so you know he's coachable. There is nothing to really hate about the pick. The only real issue is could you have maybe gotten him a little bit later? I'm not sure. I think the Colts might have snapped him up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) I spent a lot of energy on Jamin Davis on the draft thread. He might have the highest ceiling aside from Micah Parsons among the linebackers. But he doesn't have Parsons' baggage. Sideline to sideline run stopper. Really good range. He's just need to be improve at quickly diagnosing plays IMO. He's sneaky good as far as the passing game. He famously covered Pitts stride for stride on a couple of plays when he had to cover him He's also sneaky good as a pass rusher. High character guy He's a bit raw but I trust Rivera and Del Rio to coach him up. Edited April 30, 2021 by Skinsinparadise 8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefinitelyMaybe Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Well of course he’s good in coverage then ... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malapropismic Depository Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Now it looks very likely that our LT's will be Lucas and Charles. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 A LB who ran a 4.37 40. Man football has come a long way. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
