Jamin Davis

Davis took his lumps as a rookie, coming in as a first-round pick after one of the best-ever combine workouts by a linebacker (4.47 40, 42-inch vertical, 132-inch broad jump). He started eight of 16 games and averaged 4.8 tackles per contest, with a 56.4 percent snap share for the year. Not bad, but not what you want from a first-round pick. Davis, of course, has the tools to be a standout IDP if he secures a three-down role and continues to improve.

Davis taps a few different scouting cliches, alternately described as a "one-year wonder" or a "workout warrior." Whatever the case, he was dominant in his final season at Kentucky (102 tackles, three interceptions in 10 games) and arguably even more dominant at his pro day, where he put up a 4.48 40-yard dash and 42-inch vertical jump, despite weighing a solid 234 pounds. The size-speed combination gives Davis the ceiling of a dominant, three-down linebacker in the Urlacher/Willis/Wagner mold, but he's far from a sure thing as a prospect, given his lack of production and playing time in college before 2020. If nothing else, the draft spot should ensure Davis gets on the field this year, potentially even as a Week 1 starter. He's the upside IDP play in a LB group that otherwise features Jon Bostic and Cole Holcomb as the likely starters in the base defense.
