Draft Discussion

[Handel]

Since the draft forum is not there anymore, I thought we could discuss of Pats strategy for the draft.

If it interest you, Scott Wright, from NFL Draft Countdown, is present at the Senior Bowl and noticed that FSU WR Chris Davis was scouted by the Pats.

NFLDC scouting of Chris Davis (scouted as a late round prospect)

Height: 6-0 | Weight: 180 | 40-Time: 4.45

http://www.nfldraftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/wr/chrisdavis.html

Strengths:
A very good athlete...Great quickness...Tough and plays bigger than he is...Runs good routes...Can make something happen after the catch...Good hands and will make some spectacular grabs...Will work the middle of the field...He gives a good effort as a blocker...Might have some special teams potential as a punt returner.

Weaknesses:
Frail and doesn't have the bulk you look for...Height is only average...Lacks elite timed speed...Needs to get stronger...Has some durability concerns...Is not much of a vertical deep threat...Production was okay but not great...Upside is limited.

Notes:
Was a very highly regarded recruit coming out of high school...Tore his ACL in '02 and redshirted as a freshman...A nice college player who just does not have the measurables you look for...Could make a team as a #4 wideout and return man.

Sorry, But I don't see it when I reach the forum through main Pats fan site.

Ah. OK. For whatever reason, the link goes "directly" to this forum, rather than to the full list (which you might want to bookmark).

Ian--any chance of fixing this?
