Where do mock drafts have him or is he likely to go as an UFA? Seems like the biggest knock is on his size followed by speed.

Dude was a tackling machine for us. I'd like to read a draft analysis on him and see what the deal is.

6-7 round and could slide to FA contract.

Hard to believe considering how well he played for us at times.

Drafts are all about size and athleticism.

He’ll be a starter before long. Too smart, too much hustle.

His stock is low because of the measurables...however, if he is given a chance he will or should shine and get a roster spot even if it is on special teams which could be a career...

As I said in tgexTega thread, the physical ability to play the NFL game trumps production every single time.

Davis is our version of HB Blades from Pitt Panthers in like 2007.

He's a tackling machine in the box. He will quickly get exposed outside of the box though.

He will never be a starter in the NFL. Too slow.

Josh Bynes started in the league Davis could make himself a nice career. Especially if he can make it on special teams

DD seems like a good dude, but he is one of the most overrated players we’ve had in awhile. Media like him, and give him coverage bc of his personality, and therefore people equate that to being “good”. Example... they ran a big story about his respect for Jimbo and “matching wits” with him, blah blah blah... we won the game, but they made him look silly out there. He’s a decent C gap to C gap player, but he’s too slow to play at the caliber needed in the NFL with what the game has become today

I'm wondering if they could turn him into a fullback?
