Jeudy still has a lot of potential. Can't fully judge him with judge lock and clowngio

 

Jeudy also got an ankle injury week one that hampered his season. I think he has potential to be productive if he gets healthy and in the right situation.

This class shook out to be kinda weird:

 

Obviously of the first rounders, Ruggs is done. Jeudy is a disappointment due to health. Jefferson and Lamb have delivered. Aiyuk looked promising but had a weird drop off this year in the first 8 games or so. Reagor is likely a bust.

 

In the second rounders, Higgins is a great WR, Claypool looks good if not immature, Pittman, Van Jefferson and Shenault look like starters. 

 

But now to our guy. Gabe Davis is currently the 10th highest in his class for receiving yards and second in TD's, not bad for the 17th receiver off the board. He's also 10th in catches, which means he is likely impacted by fewer targets than a lot of the guys above him.

 

As it shakes out, Gabe may end up being one of the top 8 WR's in his class, probably outpaced by Jefferson, Lamb, Higgins and Claypool but right on their heels in the next group. He may end up being better than Jeudy if he doesn't get his body figured out.

If Davis becomes a full time starter next year, he could get into the top 5 WR of the draft convo, maybe even top 3.  Jefferson is the jewel of the class and likely always will be, and Lamb and Higgins round out the top 3.  
 

But Davis is capable of putting up similar seasons or better as both Lamb and Higgins did this year if he is featured like them as a true #2 WR.  I mean they both only barely eclipsed 1000 yards with 6 TDs.  I can easily see Davis break 1000 yards as a number two opposite Diggs all year and probably hit double digit TDs.  

Fun facts:  Remember when so many here wanted to trade up for Ruggs (who was a bust before he was kicked out) and had no interest in Jefferson and Higgins?  Lol.  
 

Never understood why people loved Ruggs and couldn’t understand why people were so down on Higgins and not into Jefferson.  Both were great prospects too.  
 

Despite the success of Jefferson, if we had to do it again, I still 100% trade for Diggs, he was exactly what this team and Allen needed and perfect for this team.

I think some of us thought (and still think) speed is a needed add to this offense.  Tho I wasn’t advocating trading up for Ruggs.

True…Yet so many of those same people didn’t want DK even in the second round where we took Ford, or trading up when he fell to bottom of second.  I was campaigning for DK all off season and screaming all draft night to take DK, couldn’t believe we didn’t.  
 

Although at the time I had no issue with the Ford pick either as we needed to address the lines and he was graded to go in the first.  But I was praying we would trade up back into the second after that.  

For me, Ruggs just had speed.  He didn’t have the production or size to indicate a must have guy to be a #1 WR.  And we needed a number 1 WR, not just a speed burner.  
 

I wouldn’t have hated us picking him if he fell to our draft slot, but I absolutely hated the idea of trading up for him.  I would have taken both Jefferson and Higgins over Ruggs if all 3 were on the board with our pick.  Nothing about Ruggs said he was a number 1 WR to me.  
 

But like just about everyone, I thought the top two were Jeudy and Lamb going into the draft.  I had Jefferson and Higgins as my next two.  
 

I didn’t know much about Davis heading into the draft, but liked what I read about him after we picked him.  He has been a gem and even better than advertised so far with the potential to be very good still.

Ok but I think we are yet to see the best of Mr. Davis.  I doubt he will rise to the top of the list but I can see him being  between 3rd to 5th. JA is going to heave the rock a lot. Davis will get many targets given his ability to bring it home.
