Davis is an absolute menace in the ground game. With a massive frame and freakish movement skills for his size - and his ability to find the ball, toss aside his block, and make a play - he can single-handedly destroy opponents' rushing attacks. Even if he offers nothing as a pass-rusher, a player this much of a nuisance on early downs is still worth an early pick. Davis' presence makes it easier to force third-and-longs, where the pass-rush can go to work. And if a ridiculous athletic profile hints at even a little bit of untapped potential for getting after the quarterback himself, watch out.
