Big fan & another guy not talked about enough (there's so many guys that fall into this category. Too many to post, why I love grading, no hiding from that)
I like Carlton Davis from auburn. I know he’s got a similar build to Gilmore, but I see that as a good thing. His arms are longer than most people’s legs! Two good press corners on both sidelines will make up for a lack of pass rush.
I like but tbh he kinda scares me. Loses balance, I think bc his feet n lower aren't up to speed with his mind & what he wants to do. Good r/r will give him problems if post-los imo. Haven't graded him tbh.
That's all true. He would probably get eaten up inside against an Edelman or Baldwin. I don't think he's as versatile as some of the other corners in this draft.
With his 33" arms and 6010 #206 frame, though, he's an imposing presence in the secondary, and he can compete against big guys for jump balls. This year we play some big boys this year. Bills and Jets both have several receivers over 6'2 who play a physical brand of jump ball football. As much as I like Rowe, he's just not as physical off the line, and seems to lose sight of the ball in the air. Davis could help fix that.

When Davis is outside in press man, he's a monster. I've rarely seen someone so adroit at winning at the LoS. He has long arms and a strong frame, and even if he doesn't land a good punch (a lot of times he's content to just soft step and mirror), he's really good at squeezing the route to the sidelines. Half the time I can't tell if the receiver is run blocking or if he's pressing, because the handwork around the LoS looks the same for either scenario. They just get locked up and never make it out into a route. Even so, he's got the size and speed to handle vertical routes, as long as there aren't a ton of double moves and quick cuts.
He's a round 1 guy for me, as long as he's deployed in the right matchups.
Since the Combine, I've begun to see a lot of Jessie Bates and Terrell Edmunds (Tremaine's older brother) in play in the media. "Workout warriors", or can either of these guys actually play? Wondering if anyone here has scouted them yet (or have I just missed it)?
