Trevor Davis Traded to the Raiders

[pbmax]

he'd topped out, no upside left, and still buried on the depth chart.

I do have a reservation here. Davis was injured again in camp, so perhaps they don't trust him. Perhaps they don't like him as gunner but needed him do it because he was on the game day active list as the returner.

But he seemed to be fine in the offensive system. He good at sitting down in a zone. I am curious why he did not get more run in the offense.

Told it's likely a sixth-round pick heading back to GB for Trevor Davis. #Raiders WR group is banged up - WR/KR Dwayne Harris did not practice Wed with an ankle injury while J.J. Nelson (ankle) and Tyrell Williams (hip) were limited

Sacramento Bee guy.

2 6ths and 3 7ths in the 2020 draft. Draft day 3 will be must-see TV.

Stocking up for a move into Round 5, or to draft a lot of kickers.

I'm never happy to see a player with speed get traded. I see he has amassed 1 net punt return yards. Randall Cobb has 4.

Definitely could go to mason Crosby’s replacement of for moving up in the 5th to nab him. Lots of Kicker starved teams right now. Someone’s gonna reach.

Both possibilities are real - good point.

As for Davis, I would have agreed with Patler's assessment prior to the start of this season. However, he appeared to me to be much more confident in his decision-making this season, and more comfortable making fair catches. I know he did not have many returns, but I think the Packers are struggling to block the other team's gunners, so there is little choice but to call for a fair catch. I also thought Davis appeared to be better at running routes and sitting down in zones; I was ready to call for him to be given a shot as the slot receiver.

But alas, he is gone. I wonder if Sheppard or the new kid, Smith, will get punt returns.

Sheppard was destined to be on the same field with Allison.

BOMBS AWAY!

I think its the new guy, Tremon Smith for kickoffs at least.

This just convinces me that we need guys PLAYING in preseason. Practice is not a gauge or substitute. If it were we might actually have seen Davis or Vitale make a couple plays by now. I read the raving reviews of those 2 plus Gary and a few others. I have yet to see where that has mattered during games.

Davis made plenty of plays in the preseason. 'Ol tunnelvision wouldn't throw there unless it's desperation. And even then, it's not a good bet. Especially when you only get a couple snaps each game and commit penalties and stupid mistakes when you're in there.
