AussieTitanFan08 Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 4 minutes ago, Callidus said: I want to say Lattimore was the favorite by a small margin. I was a lurker back then and trying to quantify that even when it was recent would have been pretty hard though. I could also be miss remembering because so many people swore up and down they wanted lattimore a year or two later when davis wasn't looking like the savior at wr. I was team Davis mainly because of Lattimore's hamstring issues. Just looking at Lattimore's career and his body pretty much fell apart after 5yrs.

Now if you're talking some WR drafted in 1967 then sure only...40% of this forum would remember. 40%? WAY too generous there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly aren’t going to tag him, so maybe that’s what it’s about. We’ll see if they want him cheaper as a backup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he just THAT injured his whole career? Im sure it played somewhat of a roll but I think the jump from the mac to the nfl was to much for his game. Normally guys who dominate at smaller schools also have some kind of freakish attribute to lean on if they make it big in the nfl. He was just good all around without a wow trait as far as I can remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Mostly Davis just couldn’t stay healthy. And he retired early, whether that was health related or he just didn’t have that love of the game I don’t know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 Ya'll are forgetting Davis was drafted by Mr Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead. That also played a role early on that wasn't helped much by Vrabel's mind-numbing interference and predictability. But also injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somedude Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 2 hours ago, titanruss said: Yeah corey Davis was like the most prolific college receiver of all time but it was at a small school. 6'3" 210-215 long arms. " Strengths Outstanding four-year production. Alpha attitude on the field and not afraid to take on the challenge of heavy target load. Excellent competitiveness. Focuses like a laser when ball is in the air. Tracks the deep ball as well as anyone in college and understands how to stack cornerbacks and keep them on his hip. Has second gear to run under the long ball. Excels in intermediate and deep parts of the field. Route running showed improvement in 2016. Variable route speed creates indecision for defenders. Vertical routes are crisp and create tilt in off-corners and safeties that he is quick to take advantage of. Play speed features access to functional burst. Can defeat inside leverage. A quarterback's friend who works aggressively back to the ball. Dominates in red zone. High-point catcher who uses well-timed leaps and long arms to win the 50-50 throws. Increases physicality and acceleration out of routes when operating near paydirt. Weaknesses Doesn't always sell his vertical routes aggressively enough to make cornerbacks open their hips. Drifts, at times, on in-breaking routes, allowing defenders to squeeze the route. Needs to improve quickness into and out of his breaks underneath. Elongated into breaks when working from slot. Has had some issues with focus drops on throws outside of his frame. Had 16 drops over last three years at Western. Free releases into his routes in college will turn into stern press challenges in the pros. Wasn't asked to do much meaningful blocking." I think we fucked him over with his injuries Man they could have drafted Cupp or Juju that year. Like like fatty to draft the wrong WR outside of AJ but he traded that away.

Popular Post Justafan Posted March 4 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 4 (edited) Watch 10 seconds of Love's highlights, and you can see why people want him even at #4. I wouldn't invest the draft capital or the salary cap there. I would trade down or take the best edge... but WOW you can see it.

The name of the game right now is explosive plays and he’s the best player in the draft at that. Justafan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
