So two 4ths and a 7th

We gave up 109, 146 and 224

Overview
Davis only played one year of football at Central Valley (Wash.) High School, logging seven interceptions, while also tallying 33 tackles, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. He also played wide receiver, making 16 catches for 135 yards and four touchdowns. Davis also earned three letters in basketball and four in track. Davis was an honorable mention all-league honoree and team MVP as a senior in basketball and was a two-year starter.

After high school, Davis originally enrolled to play football at Western Washington, but the program was cut during his redshirt-freshman season. Davis then went to De Anza College, and earned first-team all-Golden Gate Conference and first-team all-state honors after posting eight interceptions, returning two for touchdowns.

In 2011, Davis transferred to Utah State, where he played in all 13 games and logged five starts. He recorded 35 tackles (3.5 for loss) and six passes defended. In his senior year, Davis played in 13 games and recorded 64 tackles (4.5 for loss), 17 pass breakups, and five interceptions (one returned for a touchdown). He was named first-team All-WAC.


Strengths
Solid frame for the position. Possesses light, quick feet. Extremely fluid and coordinated athlete, changes direction well. Good balance and hips. Has the ability to drive on the football and break up passes. Tracks the football and can get his hands on the deep throw. Uses his hands through the route, not afraid to get physical, but is not overly grabby.


Weaknesses
Limited football experience. Could stand to add more weight and strength. Overaggressive nature. Susceptible to getting beat by double moves. Lacks the recovery speed to catch up to a receiver that has run by him. Has issues with beating blocks from the receiver. Will lower his head and give sub-par tackling efforts.

Bottom Line
Davis has good length, foot quickness, and ball skills for the position. Although his recovery speed is a question, he's a fluid athlete with good hips who can make plays on the football. Davis can be beaten deep when he gets overaggressive, but he has more successes than failures in this department. Davis should be a middle-round selection.

I'm a huge fan of DraftCountdown.com cuz I think Scott Wright does a great job in his research each year and he had Will Davis as his 15th best Corner.. listed as a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

He pulled in 5 interceptions last season.

So we gave up a 5th and 7th to move down in the third .....?

Obtained a 4th as well.

So we gave up a 5th and 7th to move down in the third .....?

So let me get this straight.

We traded our 3rd for two 4ths.

Then traded the two 4ths and a 7th for a 3rd?

Will davis was consistently mocked in the middle of the draft so solid pick for Miami. We need corners. Love the Taylor pick.

Never heard of him so he is a guaranteed BUST!

4/24/13: Davis had an impressive senior season in which he demonstrated special athleticism alongside a rare combination of size and speed. Davis went on a tear during the second half of the season, snagging an interception per game in five straight games. He displayed excellent ball skills in 2012, recording 17 passes broken up. Davis' 22 total passes defensed led the nation. He also had 54 tackles with 4.5 tackles for a loss.

Davis was quieter than expected at the Senior Bowl and didn't do much to stand out. That ho-hum trend continued at the Combine.

People need to take the time to find out a little bit about the kid before they dog the pick out or state they never heard of him. Find out about him.

Kid looks like a good football player. Not all the talent drafted come from the bigger schools.

Tony, please tell me you are not including me in there. I've been pounding the drum for small school guys in many of these threads. I'm not saying that this kid won't be good (I didn't know about him, but have since looked him up), I'm just saying that I think it was a mistake with Poyer still on the board. I thought this kid would be a late 1 early 2 and he's still on the board. What's the deal, why the slip?

Small with short arms terrifies me

Isn't the kid like 5'11"?
