Davis has done fine at blocking in the past, but the attention to detail to be successful at blocking when you are a package player is completely different from doing it when you are THE guy. I've seen his raw blocking skills on tape, but he has to prove he can do it simultaneously to being a starting TE.

It's why TE is probably the most difficult position to play outside of QB on the offense. Your block is every bit as critical as the guys who play the OL and do it every play, but despite how important blocking is, you don't get the big bucks to lay dudes out. Elite TEs are hard to find.
