Player Reaction:
Draftnick Takes:"Davis is more disruptive than productive with size, length and strength to reroute releases from press. He slams catch windows closed when he's in the neighborhood...His long arms help him defend throws from deep zone and make tackles in the open field. An NFL staff should be able to coax more consistent run support from him. He'll be tagged as a zone corner, but his eyes and range could earn him free safety consideration."
