Logic Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 He’ll be a Raven or a Charger. Bills would need to trade up to get him, which I don’t see happening. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think Jordan Davis could turn into a really good pass rusher..........but will always struggle to anchor and dominate against the run if he can't find it in him to get low and play with leverage. In the other Davis thread I posted a link to Jordan Phillips highlights from college..........the two players tape looks remarkably similar...........in college Phillips could play tall and dominate just like Davis did...........and Phillips was characterized as a late first round 3-4 NT prospect..........but in the NFL he has really just developed into an oversized gap shooting 3 tech because he can't get low. When the Bills tried to use him at 1 tech guards would get into his chest and drive him out of the play.

billsfan89 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I wouldn’t trade up for him but if the Bills wanted to cut Star and draft him at pick 25 I wouldn’t hate it either. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not his game and isn’t something that usually develops for guys of his size. So then your not drafting him at 25. You don’t take a 2 down player in the first round, no matter how good those two downs are in a passing league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be taken out of most of the games with high passing attacks. So the Bills faced how many running teams last year. The Colts, Steelers, and Titans, throw the Pats in twice. So a schedule last year of 5 of 17 teams= 30% of the schedule he would have been of good value in as a 2 down player with no pass rush skills. It’s not worth a first rounder. The only way it makes sense is if he develops into Vita Vea which I don’t see. I think it’s more likely he eats his way out of the NFL than he does becoming a dominant pass rusher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 That freakish foot speed means he might have higher upside than a two down run stuffer. Whether or not the Bills think he's worth the 25th overall depends on the due diligence the Bills are able to do in assessing whether he can take advantage of that raw athleticism and turn into a three down player.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Everyone in here is talking about stamina and weight. We don't run a defense that puts stress on DL like that. It doesn't matter what DT we draft, he's not likely to top 60% of snaps, and that's if he's as good as Ed Oliver. Oliver probably averages 55%. Harrison Phillips out snapped Oliver. I don't really care if Davis is only used in run situations. In this defense that's huge. I also believe Davis will free up others to rush the passer. I don't think he'll be a liability when teams pass. The big thing I need to know about Davis is effort. Does the guy love football and does he play hard. His weight can be tracked and managed. I need to know the effort is there all the time. Edited March 6, 2022 by Buffalo_Stampede 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 12 hours ago, YattaOkasan said: Heard he has had trouble with his weight and that he has a sweet tooth. Doesn’t sound very disciplined. Along with his near atrocious pass rushing he is a pass at 25 for me. It is not atrocious, against top competition he was a persistently a factor. You’re just looking at his stats and coming to that conclusion, sort of like what many did with Josh Allen coming out of college. His film shows that he is not just a bull rusher but actually has really good gap burst. He could actually become a highly effective DT in helping collapse the pocket. Not to mention his near 6’7 height would be a net positive in helping bat passes down and not providing a clear passing lane. With that said, there is a question whether or not he has the discipline to continue to improve. If he is just one of those guys that does the necessary to get by then he will end up being an OK DT tackle in the league, which is not what you would want out of your first round pick. So for me it’s a matter of determining if he has that drive to continuously get better. If so, then he ends up being a probowl caliber player.
