Thoughts on Mike Davis, RB, So Car in the 3rd round

This Walter's draft has us taking him - Mike Davis's scouting report
2014 Highlights

Davis

I'm an SC partisan and graduate so I'm pretty biased.

He's got power and speed. Reminds me a lot of Mark Ingram, has the ability to break tackles or take it 75 yards for a TD. As much as we loved Marcus Lattimore at South Carolina many people thought Davis was a better back.

Not as durable as you might like but he doesn't miss significant time due to injury.

This is a deep class for running backs, third round may be a bit high for him depending on where the run starts at that position.

I'd like to have him, though.

Besides his tendency to get banged up I love the kid. One of my favorite RB prospects in the draft. Really good pairing with Ellington IMO. Plus you can still keep in most of the RB passing routes in the playbook that you have in for Ellington(except for the ones where he lines up wide) when he is on the field because he has some really soft hands.

He's definitely flying under the radar. This RB class is loaded.

Exactly, he is great in the passing game. Good receiver and blocker.

Hey joeshmo-----good to see you posting again.

 

[football karma]

another good prospect

i really like the combo of size -- 5-9, 225 -- and runs with power. Can run away from people as well


he really fits as the compliment to Ellington

If he got banged up in college.....your taking a chance. But in the 3rd...good value I suppose.
