I just watched a bunch of backs on draftbreakdown. I came away very impressed with Mike Davis. This guy has taken some criticism lately about his supposed display of "Clowney syndrome" during the 2014 season. I guess some are of the opinion that he wasn't in great shape, didn't play with great effort, etc. I'll tell you what... tough to tell on film.
He's got a great RB build at 5'9 217. Compact, powerful, low to the ground. Plays with really nice balance and burst. He's a smooth athlete for a slightly bigger back, and has a really nice feel for space. Always seemed to be falling forward and nudging himself through small creases for the extra yard or 2 at the end of runs.
He looks more than capable of predominately being that no-nonsense, "dirty yards" runner that we want. He's also got enough lateral agility and open field speed to warrant a reasonably high pick. Nothing tremendous in the way of receiving out of the backfield or blocking, but he looked satisfactory in those areas.
We talk at length about the Gurleys, Gordon, Colemans, etc. But I honestly think that a guy like this at the end of R3 would be a nice match of ability v. value.
