Re: Insight to drafting Davis

He's definitely got talent, I think the biggest struggle will be him dealing with the frustration that comes from being a rookie TE behind a Pro Bowler (Cooley) and an established vet (Yoder). I would love to see him with 20 catches, but more so for the numbers that projects to our main pass catchers.

I actually think the person who will benefit the most is Sellers. The FB gets a lot of checkdowns in the WCO, the 2nd TE gets blocking duty.
Your probably correct about Seller's however if they wanted a blocking TE I think they could have picked up someone else other then a pass catching TE who is supposed to be equal to or better then Cooley at pass catching. Cooley's blocking is way better.

Honestly all that's needed is someone to chip the DE or pass rusher and then get open to catch a pass. Cooley and Davis will be a monster problem for opposing teams.
