Yes but no more so than some of the guys who have gone. Think both still being there is odd.

It’s odd, but it’s probably the reason they’re available

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 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.

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.

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.

So he sounds like Duke or Foster which is exactly who he is being brought in to compete with. This team needs WR depth.

That doesn't seem like it would be 'The Patriot Way'

Winston or Cam don't seem to be guys that would fit the Pats offence

Dalton maybe, but I think the Bengals keep him now to help with Burrows and maybe deal him around the deadline if someone gets hurt


Dalton is a “patriots” type of guy, but would need to done via a trade.  Don't believe he’d be cheap. 


Winston threw for 5,100 yards and had a 81% rating last year, and was an INY machine..  They need a QB.  He fits the bill until they get/develop another guy.  Perhaps he could flourish there with better coaching (please no!).

If the ball is not overthrown...

 

Hopefully his work on the long ball this year is as effective as his work on the intermediate stuff the offseason before.

Think about how many FA's Miami is gonna have at the same time from this draft alone.

Dolphins get the 5th back from Eagles.

Speaking of Eagles. I watched the Rant from EDP on YouTube today about the Hurts pick. It was disturbing. I hope he is getting help
