I watch him a ton as a UCF season ticket holder. 
 

Size Speed. Not great out of breaks (so not much separation). Good hands. Physical and high points well. When UCF needed a play he is who they looked at. Limited route tree though. Our classes most competitors but will need developing to succeed in NFL

Espn is obsessed with talking about QBs. They must feel the audience is only smart/interested enough in QBs. 

 

Other positions are football players too!

Overview
Big target with outstanding 2019 production in an offense that created favorable big play opportunities. Davis is a sideline threat with a good feel for creating space short and long through hand fighting. His build-up speed, ball-tracking and high-point talent can alter the success rate of deep throws for quarterbacks, but sluggish release quickness and predictable route usage are concerning. His size and downfield talent could push him up the board, but he won't get easy looks in the pros and may need more work and development than the 2019 production might indicate.

They brought in two vets. We have a stud #1 . I never liked the idea of taking one. 

And they have had luck bringing in UDFA cornerbacks in the past. Levi is/was a multi-game starter, and having 4 picks left doesn’t discount that the possibility still remains they draft one today.

Let's talk about Jake Fromm for 15 minutes instead of staying up on picks. Good job NFLN.

They just got to Charlie Heck....you guys need to chill, lol

Sounds like some upside with NFL coaching?

Wouldn’t this be a good time for Beane to unload one of those extra sixths and get back  into the fourth round, maybe one of Philly’s Comp picks?

Yeah. Didn’t get that really in UCF. They just put him out there told him to do what he is good at and let his Size Speed beat CBs.

I really, really don’t think we needed a WR at all. There’s zero chance any WR beyond round 1 had any chance of actually playing in our offense. Any chance this guy is a ST guy? And that’s the plan?

Injuries happen you know.

What I’ve heard/read:

PFF Draft Guide - Mike Renner

Davis is a massive project at this point. It’s concerning that his routes were sloppy even on one of the most limited route trees of any WR in the draft. With limited quicks and explosiveness, Davis doesn’t profile as a separator at the next level.

Gabriel Davis WR UCF - Draft Player Profile | The Draft Network - Joe Marino

UCF wide receiver Gabriel Davis found exciting production in college by running go routes, showcasing his smooth acceleration, ball tracking skills and hands. His ability to run double moves and create vertical separation will be an asset in the NFL. With that said, his projection elsewhere is underwhelming. As it stands, his ability to execute a complete route tree is limited and he offers very little post-catch upside. Davis is likely a WR4 at the next level that does provide vertical receiving upside which is of value. That said, increasing his value by excelling on special teams will be important.

Gabriel Davis WR UCF - Draft Player Profile | The Draft Network - Benjamin Solak

Gabriel Davis is a Day 3 developmental field stretcher with a solid ceiling. With a sparse route tree and undisciplined feet/body positioning in his route stem, Davis will fail to separate early in the NFL unless it’s on a straight line. Davis is a linear athlete with good burst and great long speed, but he struggles to catch through contact or at full speed, and his inconsistent hands outside of his frame limit his reliability as a permanent starter at the Z. Davis is a good candidate for gunner play and can carve out a WR4/5 role accordingly, but is multiple years of development away from meaningful offensive contributions. With that said, Davis is a quality athlete in terms of height/weight/speed, and is worthy of developmental effort. Davis is a Year 1 special-teamer with the potential to develop into a field stretcher by Year 2/3 if he broadens his route tree and works his releases.

On a normal year a player like Gabriel Davis could push for the second day of the draft. That seems unlikely with so much talent in this class, and a smart team with a plan on how to maximize his skillset and develop him could really benefit.

Maybe. I think first and foremost he's a developmental 4th rounder who they'd like to get coached up behind the aging vets

Also, (I'm catching up here) Jets fans will say Morgan is only for a backup option, but that tells me Gase isn't sold on Darnold. 

It should tell you that their options at back up quarterback currently are very very limited. I am 100% sure that googly eyes is very sold on Sam Darnold.
