Re: Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?
Watching Davis play in college, it is pretty obvious that he can run and he can catch the football. That is what got him drafted.
As to why he isn't on the field over Yoder - who is a decent TE but nothing more - it really has to be one of two reasons. And you will never get an NFL coach to tell you which one:
1. He isn't smart enough to understand his responsibilities on a wide enough spectrum of plays that they don't dare put him out there for much of anything lest he make a big mistake.
2. He can't block at all and putting him there could place Jason Campbell and/or any of the running backs in serious danger.
It pretty much has to be something along the lines of one of those two things...
