Never the less I'm excited to see how all of our rookies turn out this year.

Right, and that's a reason to think that the scouts might be wrong on his blocking ability.

I actually have no recollection of Davis ever blocking in college. When I did my pre-draft reports, I went 100% off what the experts said, that he's weak at the point of attack.

Of course, that's assuming that my sources were valid: the Skins clearly dispute this fact so there's legitimate reason to be hopeful that the team is correct.
