NFL Impact
Davis is a physical specimen and possesses all of the measurables to be the best corner taken in this year's draft. He is projected to go in the top 15 but NFL.com’s Mike Mayock sees him as the #2 ranked corner in this year’s draft. His college resume shows him to be an instinctive tackler and dazzling playmaker. The knocks on him have been inconsistent hands....but then again he's playing defense. Most teams looking at a first round corner will want a guy who can run with #1 wr's (Davis ran a 4.40 in high school), can break on the ball, has enough leaping ability to break up long passes, and has instincts to make solid tackles. Davis has all of those qualities and with good combine numbers should vault to the top corner taken in the draft.
So where do you see Davis going in this year's draft and more importantly how do you see him as an NFL corner?
