Dating back to last spring, there has been an ongoing debate in and around the Florida football team about which Gator will come off the board first in the 2017 NFL draft.

It’s been a CB debate.

Will it be Jalen Tabor or Quincy Wilson?

Take your pick.

Well, the way it’s looking now, it won’t be Tabor or Wilson. There’s a good chance it will be linebacker Jarrad Davis, whose draft stock has been soaring over the final few weeks of the process.

Many of the draft analysts and experts now have Davis projected as a first-round pick, while they have Tabor and Wilson slipping into the second round after both were considered probable first-round selections when the two juniors declared for the draft in January.
