OVERVIEW
Most people spend their lives trying to get to Hawai'i at least once, but Davis decided that two years in the Rainbow State was enough, especially after head coach Norm Chow was let go. He had started 10 times in his two years with the Warriors, racking up 45 receptions for 601 yards and five touchdowns. After sitting out a redshirt season in 2013, Davis became an all-purpose threat for the Bears, making plays as a receiver (24-399, five TD) and returner (424 kickoff return yards, 70 punt return yards) as a junior. He had 40 receptions in 2014 (one of six players hitting that mark) that covered 672 yards and two scores, and had 686 kickoff return and 45 punt return yards as well. Those sort of receiving/return numbers won't go unnoticed by NFL scouts.

STRENGTHS Quality return man specializing in kick­offs with two touchdowns under his belt while at Cal. Former high school long jumper and sprinter with build­up speed to challenge deep safeties from the hash. Competitive runner after the catch with ability to make defenders miss and finish his runs with some authority. Hands are adequate.

WEAKNESSES Track speed doesn't translate underneath. Needs runway to get going and can't hit jets out of his breaks for separation. Needs to improve hard vertical push to clear space for comebacks and outs. One­-speed, rounded routes need work. Struggles to release cleanly against quality press coverage.

DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 6 or 7

SOURCES TELL US "He's a pretty good returner. I don't see him being drafted, but he could make a team as a return man and last receiver on the depth chart." -- NFC West scout

BOTTOM LINE Wiry catch-­and-­run specialist whose NFL value rests in his return ability. Davis could be a difficult sell because he's not an NFL­-ready receiver, but a big combine could create late-round interest or elevate his stock as a priority free agent.

Meh

Dime a dozen receiver.

Okay, clearly he's gotta be drafting almost entirely for need this year.
At least if his "needs list" is the same as mine. :)

This guys got speed.
And he'll upgrade the return game (at least if the return blockers learn how to do their job better).
As a WR goes...well, the most appropriate word that comes to mind is .... Janis.
As in Jeff Janis II.
And we already have one of those.

Why not Charone Peake?
He's got speed AND WR ability.

Oh well.
At least the high grades (A-, A-, A) were in rounds 1-3 and the non-high grades (D, B-, C-) in the fourth and fifth.

This late in the draft you're not gonna find many complete football players. What you gotta target is the guys that at least have an elite trait. This guy has elite long speed. Can also be a very good return guy.

He seems to have better hands than Janis did coming out of college.
Not as big though.

What I don't get, for a WR who will undoubtedly top out at the 4th/5th WR slot, why not take the German dude and see if he turns out to be anything.

Worst case, he sucks and one of our own holds down the bottom of the depth chart.

Probably based it on the competition he was facing?

This is our official return man

Looks like they want Monty away from return duties and fully plugged into the offense

They'll line him up in the backfield and get him the ball in the flat, with some open field blocking ahead of him.
Kind of get the feeling Mike wants to experiment with speed.

Also seems to me they want to challenge Janis.
