Davis was literally drafted to be a Spy for Vick twice a year - they developed him from there. 

True. I think people forget that he was almost viewed the way Chinn was around here aside from being an answer to Vick.

Just didn't know where to put him. Too big for a safety and too small for an LB at that time, but we tried him and listed him at both.

For a while we just didn't think he'd stick around. He was fast and he could hit and that was about the extent of it.

It took a few years but we eventually got it figured out. Just need patience.

He reminds me of Dre Greenlaw after watching some of his film. I think hell be a stud

This pick should’ve been Cooper Beebe …

 

This would be my only gripe of Dan Morgan’s first draft.

Local espn and sports talk shows are roasting this pick today. All said Wilson, Butkus award winner should have been the pick. Even Luke endorsed the kid.  
 

This reeks of DJ Johnson last year.

Are you saying the local sports radio guys wanted the local guy

I think he was flagged as a major injury risk by a lot of teams.

mac and bone were borderline unlistenable today.  I had to cut it off halfway through their draft "evaluation"  There is being a homer and happy about the draft and then there is that.  Whatever over the top balls in mouth analysis you want to call it but it was not rational.

To be honest I think beyond the injuries there is concern he has peaked as a LB. He is great as is but coupled with the ware and tear he already has on his body I can see why a lot of teams didn't want to risk a high pick on him. I do not fault anyone either way.

Full disclosure I probably wouldnt have blown a high pick on wilson, but if last year was his peak he is still going to be a damn good linebacker for pitt.  Dude was a master player caller and simply all over the field.  The not having an acl is curious as hell because he was unstoppable last season

The same local sport radio guys who want to get a spark out of their increasingly dwindling audience.

And don’t you dare text in and tell them any Bryce criticism. 

EDIT: as far as LBs ands Wilson, man I would love to have him but those injuries are part of the deal. They are scary.

I don’t think this guy is near as unfinished. 

edit: a team Captain at Kentucky as a Junior. That’s getting a quality person. Which if he can’t play won’t matter but let’s see. I think he looks pretty good.
