FlaFitz1 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Davis was one of 2 receivers taken in the 4th round with the other being Antonio Gandy Golden. There was a total of 15 receivers selected before him - 6 in the 1st round, 7 in the 2nd round and 2 in the 3rd round. The results through 3 games: Ruggs - 4 catches on 8 targets for 59 yards Jeudy - 13 catches on 24 targets for 173 yards Lamb - 16 catches of 21 targets for 230 yards Reagor - 5 catches of 8 targets for 96 yards Jefferson - 12 catches of 15 targets for 245 yards and 1 TD Aiyuk - 7 catches on 11 targets for 91 yards Higgins - 8 catches on 15 targets for 75 yards and 2 TDs Pittman Jr - 9 catches on 12 targets for 73 yards Shenault Jr - 11 catches of 14 targets for 105 yards and 1 TD Hamler - 6 catches on 12 targets for 78 yards Claypool - 6 catches on 9 targets for 151 yards and 1 TD Jefferson - 5 catches on 9 targets for 76 yards Mims - IR Edwards - 5 catches on 6 targets for 99 yards Duvernay - 2 catches of 2 targets for 31 yards Note: only 2 games Davis - 7 receptions on 7 targets for 103 yards and 1 TD Gandy- Golden - 1 reception on 3 targets for 3 yards Now I realize it's VERY early and 3 games doesn't not make a season nor a career. However, in this small sample size Davis is at the top of the group in catch rate, trails only Claypool in yards per reception, and is 6th in yards per game. I would love to see him be targeted more (especially after that toe-drag swag yesterday) and continue this. I'm also very glad he ran a 4.54!!! 3 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Gabe's glowing TC reports, and his subsequent contributions in the first 3 games bodes well for his future...especially after Brown's contract is up after next year. Here's hoping his play continues on an upward trend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mckenzie reminds me a lot of roscoe parrish as a gadget player - Beane did it right this time though. Waiver claim and 1yr extension. Not a 2nd round pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da webster guy Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Great pick so far. We missed John Brown badly yesterday, he and Josh are elite when it comes to buying time and getting open. Davis is in the perfect spot to learn and grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davis is in the perfect spot to learn and grow I feel like every 4th round pick WR just flames out - hell half the first round ones do. I think bringing someone along in a position of strength instead of throwing them to the fire seems to work. He may also just have the "IT" factor needed to be successful at this level. Who knows? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigotz Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The immediate production despite a crowded and talented WR room, coupled with all of the training camp hype definitely has me excited. When you think about some of our WR bust picks (Hardy, Zay, Graham, etc.), Gabe has already outperformed all of them. It’s a very exciting time to be a Bills fan. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking that he's looking like what we hoped Zay Jones would be -- not a speedburner, but tall, gets open, catches everything within his reach. We deserve to hit on one of these WRs!

If you go back 35 years, Andre Reed was a great pick in the 4th round. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 The best part isn't his numbers, it's the quality of the catches he's making. The dude is showing some serious skill! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He absolutely has been a steal I think it is the WAY he has produced that has been nice......he compliments our other WR's well....blocks..... but the catches he has made have also been difficult....that toe tapper yesterday was a thing of beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Davis has exceeded early expectations for sure! What I am blown away by here is just how many of these young receivers are producing already. Wow! It's gotta be an all time record in rookie WR productivity.

I believe in making your own luck, but think about the situation that Davis finds himself in. An explosive offense with a creative OC and a gunslinger QB who can make every throw and he has not yet experienced losing on this team. We are developing a core of players that EXPECT to win, that has not been the case for a long time for this Bills franchise where we have suffered with many good players who toiled away on teams that could not sniff a playoff. Beane and McD are building something good here and this kid is in a great place to grow into a really good impact receiver in this league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
