Welcome WR Derius Davis, TCU (Round 4, #125)

[Velo]

And if he's a problem, Butker will just drill it out of the end zone.

I don't think he's going to impress as a punt returner.

What makes you say that?

[Velo]

He's way too short for my liking at 5"7 and TT taking a ST guy in 4th round is little to early. Glad he has the speed though because a T.E would have been nice right around this selection.

He's a kick returner. The good ones are always undersized. It's an asset to be undersized in that role. Those upset with this pick totally misunderstand what this pick is about.

It’s funny. When I researching Johnston, I saw some plays designed for Davis and was thinking, man is he fast. He is really, really fast. Like Tyreek Hill fast.

I look forward to him returning punts and to Moore designing some plays to take advantage of what he does.

This is a great pick.

I agree . . . . he's really really fast

He will put on some weigh and will pick up some speed once he gets in an NFL training program. Not too worried about it.

I think that is my main problem with the choice.
If he came from Northern Iowa A&M i'd be more positive.

I also noticed the guy has very little shiftiness, or elusiveness to his return game.
He basically outraces people to edges.

Checked his 3 cone time: he didn't run it.
Checked his 20 yard shuttle: pretty pedestrian.

He's short, has really short arms, a very poor vertical (30''), ran a limited route tree,

he's years away, if ever, from being a productive receiver .... and i'm not certain if his return game translates to the NFL.

The first few bobbles and he shoots down the depth chart.

[dmac_bolt]

Someone said he runs upright. He only gets upright once he is up to full speed. He is running so fast, the friction from the ambient air molecules pulls his upper torso slightly backwards so it looks like h’s lower trunk is ahead of his upper body. At that speed, it’s like a re-entry force. I’d bet the top of his body rises by 2 degrees on runs as well.

havre no fear, the upper and lower will stay connected and not burn up during re-entry.

[dmac_bolt]

Havent seen full tape, only highlights. His receiving doesnt look completely horrible. Maybe he had limited passes because his teammate was Q-fucking-J?

[powderblueboy]

What makes you say that?

You mean as a punt returner?

Good punt returners need to make the first person miss, and i'm not seeing it on his highlights.
I don't see him faking anyone out.

Methinks you don't want him to succeed because you've gone negative and you don't want him to prove you wrong.

Apparent quite a strong guy for his size!
