Re: Another wide receiver rumor
i think that davis has what no one has on the redskin current roster-- legitimate deep speed. plus, his hands are above average. the knock on him has been injuries. bad luck? or a brittle player like westbrook?
plus, he has had to play with woefully inaccurate qb's, or with one who has demonstrated zero arm strength. he has an upside, to be certain, because he is young.
as far as i have read, he has no personality issues. so for a 4th rounder, he would be well worth the risk IMHO.
he also would likely to be effective far earlier than even a premium draft pick such as williams, edwards or clayton. he already knows the speed of the pro game and the way nfl corners try to keep a wideout from getting off the line.
given that we have wasted mid round picks on players like mccants and russell, there is little downside as long as he checks out medically.
given also, that the team will be without gardner and most likely mccants (unless he and gibbs can reach a meeting of minds and hearts) that leaves the wideout corps very thin potentially. going into next year with a possibly hobbled coles, an unproductive (thus far) jacobs, and a mediocre (at best) thrash is not the kind of dynamic receiver corps that puts fear into opponents db's. if we are not going to go after a proven wideout in free agency (mason?? muhammed??) then it sounds like
davis would be the best option by far....
