Popular Post Jonboy Posted January 10, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 COREY DAVIS, WR, Western Michigan 6'3, 213 lbs, Senior Round Projection: 1st Stats 2016- 97 catches, 1500 yds, 19 TDs 2015- 90 catches, 1436 yds, 12 TDs 2014- 78 catches, 1408 yds, 15 TDs 2013- 67 catches, 941 yds, 6 TDs http://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/545923/corey-davis Who is Corey Davis? Had Davis declared for the NFL in 2015, one scout says he could have gone late first round. The only other MAC receiver ever taken in Round 1? Marshall’s Randy Moss, in 1998. But Davis returned to school, in large part to work toward his degree. On the field this season, coaches have slid him around the formation to create opportunities—Davis lines up in the slot, out wide, and runs nearly every route. He has been swarmed by double teams, yet is still averaging six catches for 99 yards and a touchdown per game. ... When scouts visit campuses to do recon on prospects, they’ll often ask: Does the player love football? Davis shows without telling, by staying after every practice to shag balls. Sometimes he’ll do distraction drills, implemented by Fleck and Simon: They’ll run through more than 100 ball drills, sometimes using cut-open footballs, other times lacrosse or tennis balls. This perhaps explains why drops are rare for Davis. ... “I’ve gone against Darqueze Dennard, Eli Apple…” he rattles off. Davis has 617 receiving yards and four touchdowns in seven career games against Big Ten teams, highlighted by a 10-catch, 154-yard, one-touchdown performance against Michigan State in the 2015 season opener. http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2016/09/28/nfl-draft-corey-davis-western-michigan-first-round There is no denying that Davis has feasted on questionable competition and that Western Michigan's spread offense has padded his numbers. He has faced top talent over his career, however, and the production was still there with 450 receiving yards and four touchdowns in five career games against Big Ten competition entering the 2016 season. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/2061005/corey-davis Cutups vs Wisconsin: http://draftbreakdown.com/video/corey-davis-vs-wisconsin-2016/ (PFF grades vs Wisconsin https://www.profootballfocus.com/college-cotton-bowl-grades-wisconsin-rides-rushing-attack-to-victory/) vs Ohio: http://draftbreakdown.com/video/corey-davis-vs-ohio-2016-2/ vs Buffalo: http://draftbreakdown.com/video/corey-davis-vs-buffalo-2016/ Highlights TitanJoe, titanskick8851, begooode, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

titanskick8851 Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 Corey Davis is my favorite WR in this draft. He has production and the skills to back it up. Here's to hoping we grab him sometime in the 1st round!!! EagleEye, and TitanJoe 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
begooode Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 mos def looks the part, especially upon reading this: “I’ve gone against Darqueze Dennard, Eli Apple…” he rattles off. Davis has 617 receiving yards and four touchdowns in seven career games against Big Ten teams, highlighted by a 10-catch, 154-yard, one-touchdown performance against Michigan State in the 2015 season opener.

OILERMAN Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I think you'd be better off looking at mid round prospects at the WR position HigherLogic 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supdawg Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 To quote the SI article about him earlier this year - "Fleck’s best player is his polar opposite from a personality standpoint. During Fleck’s speech, Davis sat in the front row, silent. Nearly everyone in and around the program describes Davis as shy. He spent all summer at campus. In the fall, if he’s not at class or at the football building for organized activities, he’s at the football building. Simon has often arrived at his office to find Davis already there, scrolling through plays on the coach’s laptop. “It’s not like he works to be seen,” Simon says. “Like, ‘Hey I'm working over here!’ He wants to work in silence and he wants to work quite literally when nobody is watching.” "When scouts visit campuses to do recon on prospects, they’ll often ask: Does the player love football? Davis shows without telling, by staying after every practice to shag balls. Sometimes he’ll do distraction drills, implemented by Fleck and Simon: They’ll run through more than 100 ball drills, sometimes using cut-open footballs, other times lacrosse or tennis balls. This perhaps explains why drops are rare for Davis. According to Pro Football Focus, Davis had just 15 drops on 183 catchable passes through last year." “At first Corey didn't want to lead,” Simon says. “He wanted to do his job and do it the very best he could. But he developed the mindset: If I do it and just tell someone else they should, they’ll do it.” This guy sounds like a Jon Robinson guy. I want him bad.

Sounds like he has the same personality Marcus has. It also sounds like he is more versatile than Williams. I think Williams is just an outside WR. I think you can line Davis up outside and in the slot as well. He probably has a more diverse route tree. He sounds like the better fit to me.

Jonboy Posted January 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 You guys are picking up on some of the same qualities that caught my eye. I don't know if J-Rob will be looking for a WR early, but I do know that Corey Davis 100% fits what he likes to see. He's a 4-yr player with really good numbers that improved each year. Combine that with his work ethic and quiet confidence...seems like a J-Rob guy through and through. Justafan, XAEA12, and Titans279 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeedoeLaw Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) I wonder if he will be at the senior bowl. A strong showing there could raise his stock to where we might have to take him at 5 if we want him. If we take him at 5 we will have to talk some posters off the ledge.
