So your claim that someone who climbs a draft board be a one year wonder is kind of silly.

To claim that there were 3 dozen better is ludicrous and based on poor information if you judge by the NFL.com grades. Not even the draft experts here would make that claim.

You say Ted blew this pick. Alright, we'll keep track of those 3 dozen others and see who has a better career.
Draft Insider, which waits until just before the draft to put their rankings together, had Davis as the #27 WR, and a 6th round value.

Trevor Davis
School: California
Position: WR
Positive: Part-time starter the past 2 seasons also used to return kicks. Recorded a career-best 40 receptions, 672 yards and 2 TDs as a senior. Athletic receiver prospect with an inconsistent game. Uses the sidelines well, nicely adjusts to the errant throw and plays heads-up football. Consistently extends to make the reception away from his frame. Competitive, keeps the play in bounds and always working to pick up positive yardage.
Negative: Does not display consistent hands, does not always come away with the difficult reception and has throws bouncing off his hands. Must improve his route running.
Analysis: Davis is a talented prospect who's slowly turning his athletic ability into football skill. His return skills could help him catch hold of a roster spot where he'll also lineup as a 5th receiver.
