I’d be really unhappy about it

Since we’re on Jordan Davis…
I think he’s not the dream pick of a stingley, JJ, hamilton, Gardner, or KT, but he’s absolutely my number 1 by miles in the next tier. He’s a game changer for us, because I think he allows us to have a lot more speed and less beef from our LB rotation, better usage of nickel and dime, and significantly lessen the risk of being run on while also giving us interior pass rush. Guys like queen can excel and we don’t need a Josh bynes on the field that badly, we don’t need that plugger at mike, we have the manpower if we have Jordan Davis, instead let the green dot guy move down and take on a role more similar to a LB with queen, really change the way teams attack the middle of the field against us with the coverage skills and intuition of a guy like Clark taking on a role closer to a LB, and give us better range from a safety pairing of Marcus Williams and Brandon Stephens. And yes I think he will generate pass rush, maybe less on the stat sheets but I think he’s gonna be nothing shy of disruptive as fuck on third down, I think we’re gonna see a way more explosive and agile Jordan Davis than we saw at Georgia
Jordan Davis is more of a tail end of the top tier guys, and not a “consolation prize” at the top of a lower tier of players.

He's gonna go before 14 or at 14.

Nah, if we spend a pick on a corner in rounds 1-3 I’d say that’s plenty of high stock in the position. Remember a shit ton of our cap goes to 2 corners already. We need help and depth there, not multiple starters.

I agree. But I gotta have 1 CB in the first 3 picks. It's mandatory.
than I'll hate Jordan Davis and he will suck
he can and has played 3 and 1 tech
Interior pass by whom? I actually like davis because of how easier he likely could make it for the rest of our defenders… however, i just dnt know if 14th ovr a good pick for a run stuffer
how?
i see it pretty similarly - he's not in the top top tier in this class - but he's the best of the rest (for me it's him and booth as the next 2 guys)
id love to have both those guys - but would be somewhat disappointed by the connotation that it means that MP is gone after 2022 and also would find it hard to see 2 CBs impacting as rookies - to me that's more of a looking to the future and down the road kind of combination
would be exciting to draft them both... would be hard to see massive gains to the team in 2022 from both of those guys at the same time

Interior pass rush by Davis himself.

For what it's worth - I think that a lot of people here are over-analyzing Jordan Davis.
That man is a force of nature, absolute freak. Most of the time people hope we can develop mid/late round guys to competent NFL starters. Why is it so hard to imagine what that could look like with someone as good as Davis?
He will be a nightmare for every offense from day one because one lineman can't hold him. I can't wait to see what will become of him with a bit of coaching and refinement, hopefully in purple jersey.

I'd love to draft one of the top 3 CBs at 14 unless a top edge falls to us. Even then, I may prefer a CB. However, I'd be lying if I told you I didn't love the notion of drafting Jordan Davis and him becoming a monster like Ngata. However, I'm afraid he may turn into Albert Haynesworth. Just my paranoia, I'm hoping.

There’s nothing to suggest he’s anything close to haynesworth. Jordan Davis hasn’t had the slightest character concern come out at any point.
The "big" concern regarding Davis is his conditioning. He played under 50% of the snaps and was only registering like 20 or so in some games, but that could also be because that DL was so deep and why wouldn't your have Wyatt and Carter in on obvious passing downs. Regardless of that, I can't help but feel there's more to unlock there. He transitions to the NFL so easily. If he can keep his weight down to what it's been in the pre-draft process, I see no reason he shouldn't be a complete pain in the ass to deal with on the field. You're doing a little bit of projecting with Davis but I don't see a major risk by any means.

Paranoia is inexplicable my friend. It doesn't have to be rational.
