Chargers take WR Craig Davis, LSU. Not my highest rated remaining WR, so I like that from GB's perspective.

Chargers take Craig Davis
Craig Davis
WR | (6'1", 207, 4.44) | LSU
Scouts Grade: 82
Strengths: Possesses intriguing physical tools, including above average size and very good speed. Can stretch the field vertically and shows the acceleration to consistently get over the top of defensive backs in man-to-man coverage. He reaches top speed quickly and shows the ability to separate right away. His hands are much improved. Shows the ability to pluck on the run and can make the tough catch in traffic. He gives a good effort as a downfield blocker in the running game. He continues to improve with more experience and could be a "diamond in the rough" from the 2007 class.
Weaknesses: Still has room to improve as a route runner. Needs to get in and out of breaks quicker. Also needs to show more savvy setting up defenders and finding soft spots in zone. Not the toughest receiver. Can be a bit hesitant when working over the middle. Fast on a straight-line but not overly elusive. Durability was a problem early in his career. Missed time in 2003 with a broken right elbow and in 2005 with a concussion.
Overall: Davis was limited early during his true freshman season of 2003 by a broken right elbow and finished the year with seven catches for 63 yards after seeing action in nine games. In 2004, he appeared in all 12 contests making eight starts, and led the Tigers with 43 receptions for 659 yards (15.3 average) and scored one touchdown. Davis played in 11 of 13 games during the 2005 season with five starts after missing some time due to a concussion. He finished the year with 35 receptions for 559 yards (16 average) and two touchdowns despite being sidelined for the Mississippi State and Florida games. In 2006 Davis started 12 of 13 games while catching 56 passes for 836 yards (14.9 average) and four touchdowns. He also added 142 yards and a touchdown on 11 punt returns during the year.
Davis has been underrated throughout most of his career and he had his best season as a senior in 2006. He has lots to offer as an NFL prospect, including great straight-line speed to go along with his adequate-to-good size and hands. Minor injuries and inconsistent route running are still concerns. He also lacks ideal toughness and elusiveness. When it's all said and done; Davis grades out as a second-tier wide receiver in the 2007 class with enough speed to warrant consideration in Round 2.

I like Jason Hill WR and Dan Banzuin DE in the 3rd if either last.
Two highly productive guys with good size and measurables to go with it.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Jason Hill is intriguing. Sidney Rice. Who will take Dwayne Jarrett?"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

sorry I haven't been around to talk boys, but we've been sitting here mostly in shock since pick 16.
Greg Olsen to Chicago? that's the word. OR they could take a Posluszny or Branch and keep getting scary good on defense.
interesting draft. I don't think anyone could have made this mock today. it's been wild, yet fun...I'm still not sold on Justin Harrell....but we'll see I guess."I would love to have a guy that always gets the key hit, a pitcher that always makes his best pitch and a manager that can always make the right decision. The problem is getting him to put down his beer and come out of the stands and do those things." - Danny MurraughComment

Do they have less time to make their picks in the 2nd round?

Yep...10 mins I think, maybe even 5..Originally posted by GrnBay007www.ccso228@twitter.comComment

Anybody else feel disappointed every year once the draft starts? Mainly because it's so time-consuming. The night before it's like the night before Christmas for adults. Then the draft happens, and you mostly wait around all day or are bitching about who was picked by your team because the guy wasn't slated to go there by the experts."There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

I get your perspective. I'm kinda there too. Guy seems like a great player if he stays healthy, but any way you slice it, not a big need on this team....Originally posted by ND72
great for long term, but in 07? Maybe we trade a tackle with some value? Who knows anymore...?Comment

Wow Jarrett has slipped thru a bit. Unless Indy takes him, I'm surprised he slipped to the 2nd round. He's got real good size.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangerswww.ccso228@twitter.comComment
