Fred Davis of USC?

[Brando19]

This mock draft I found has the Pack taking TE Fred Davis with the first round pick. Anyone know anything about this guy? Would he be an upgrade over Franks? Is he a good blocker?

He is the Top TE prospect in the draft, so he may be gone before the packers pick. FF has him going to Seattle at #25.

STUD!

And, Rivers gets drafted next....one pick earlier then Mel Kiper says.

Now, two mock drafts that have him in the low rounds.

I don't see it, but who knows. Does the SI guy know we have two aging CBs and need overall help in our secondary? The FA period that starts soon enough will make our draft direction much more clear I would imagine.

Rivers was picked before the Pack, not next. Davis looked good in the bowl game. I don't think its a good idea to draft a TE that high, though. We have a potent passing offense. I would rather address the defense.

bEst TE in the draft

Then why is he going to be there at the 30th pick?

[b bulldog]

he isn't a freAK and he isn't very tall.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

he isn't a freAK and he isn't very tall.

Don't know about Freak..i've watched him, pretty darn good. Guess that depends on the defintion.

But, no tall? He is six four. That is pretty darn tall for any football player, let alone a TE.

Rivers: Yeah, i've inverted it. but, i think we all understood the main point. That 2 draft guys have Rivers down where we draft, as opposed to others that say he will be gone early.

Not saying to draft Rivers, but he does look good.

I'd take Davis, but i'm with you...dominant D is best.

At the senior bowl they are saying he isn't a legit 6'4" AND A FREAK IS A Vernon Davis, kellen Winslow type TE.

I would love to have Rivers if he falls. He has great speed and is excellent in coverage for a college LB

[b bulldog]

He would at best be a 66% of the time player.

I think you misinterpreted..i'm not saying he is a freak.

BTW, if being a freak is good, then perhaps i don't want it. Davis hasn't done much, and it took Winslow 4 years to do anything.

Height: We will see. Post the link to the height discrepancy. I'm not saying he is six four, but he has been listed that way forever.

Senior bowl thread, they said he looked awfully short next to other players
