The Baltimore Ravens made a value pick when they selected Carl Davis in the third round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Davis showed flashes of great play in the preseason. He started three of the first four games of the 2015 season at 3-technique while Timmy Jernigan nursed a knee injury. Surprisingly, Davis' playing time greatly decreased as the season wore on.
In fact, Davis was a healthy scratch in three of the final six games of the season. These gameday inactive decisions were puzzling since Davis showed great promise and the Ravens gave many other young players increased playing time as their playoff hopes faded away late in the season.
