Why Did We Draft Fred Davis?

What's driving me nuts about Davis is that we're seeing other TE's drafted early already making an impact. Dustin Keller, John Carlson, and Martellus Bennett (for one play), have made some noise while Davis has been silent. Perhaps the Jets and Seahawks knew better when they drafted Keller and Carlson with Davis still on the board. Maybe they saw Davis as a guy who would have trouble asimilating to the NFL.

And yes, I was one of the guys who wanted Calais Campbell at our slot when we selected Davis.
