I really believe this is going to put a lot of pressure on defenses to dial nickel or dime coverages to cover both Cooley and Davis. Hell, Cooley was getting it in done with no help last year.

Of all the picks, I think Davis might be the steal of the draft.

I also love it.

People need to understand that with a new coach will come a new scheme.

Maybe I'm just a little too forward thinking or something, but is it really that hard to envision a 2-TE set with Cooley and Davis on either side of the formation when it's 3rd and goal?

Cooley and Davis on the field together in the red zone would give defenses fits. Cerrato is clearly building this team with red zone offense in mind.
