There’s a healthy debate about which receiver is the best in the draft class, and Western Michigan’s Corey Davis is right there near the top. Whether evaluators prefer his excellent route-running, Clemson WR Mike Williams’ ball skills, or Washington WR John Ross’ speed, all three receivers bring unique skillsets to the table. Wide receiver-needy teams are better off looking for the best fit for their offensive system and perhaps more importantly, the style of their starting quarterback. Here’s a look at the best fits for Davis, with a few snippets from his PFF scouting report for added context:
What he does best
- Excellent route-runner who can separate really well due to his sharp route-running
- Sells double moves exceptionally well, especially with his head fake
- Uses his hands subtly to create separation
- Demonstrates attention to detail and savviness on tough sideline catches by tapping both feet inbounds
