[News] 2017 Draft Profile: WR Corey Davis

[BR News]

The Western Michigan product is regarded by some analysts as the best receiver in the class, and he has all the makings of a No. 1 wideout.

If Corey Davis is still available at Pick # 16 ? I would be running the Draft Pick Card, with his name on it....... up to the table !

[The Beak]

Much prefer C Davis to Mike Williams , Davis will be a game changer, I don't think he will be there at 16, but I'm beginning to believe the Ravens wont be picking at 16 either (Trading back looks like its gaining momentum)

[stixfix69]

I like both, but Williams has delivered on the big stage, which IMO is a plus....

[El Cuervo]

He's our guy.

[Chuckx999]

Sorry, but we all know Ozzie's WR picks. TE Howard would be a safer choice, then we could cut a dozen TE's sitting on the bench. If not Howard go for a kick butt LB.

[glen ferguson]

I think the ravens will trade back,, however if Davis ,Williams or Barnett is there at pick #16 i can almost guarantee you that we will stay put and draft one of these guys.

[jravens1313]

This is the best WR in the draft. Future Pro Bowler.

I can almost guarantee that we will trade back and add at least another 3rd round pick. We still have something like 20 roster spots left on the team and with only 7 draft picks so far it looks like a lot of undrafted players will get the chance to prove themselves.

Completely agree. I think we will (and should) trade back. But if any of those three are still on the board, it will be very hard to make the trade.

[GeeWallee]

Jerry Rice didn't deliver on the Big Stage. I agree that Williams delivered, but he also delivered with one of the Top 2 QBs in this Draft Class. I truly believe that Davis is the Gem of these WRs.
I would not turn Williams away, however......lol
He's a great Possession and Red Zone WR, to have in your Line-Up.

we are on the clock at 16 mike william and corey davis are still there who do you pick?

[TheConquerorWorm]

I'd take either. Williams has better size and a better red zone target. Davis is a better route runner and has better elusiveness. The Ravens need both types of guys. I'd probably take Davis because of the loss of SSS (our best route runner).

[ellicottraven]

Corey Davis, Mike Williams or Derek Barnett or even Rueben Foster. Any of these players and I'm a happy man.

I think Davis for sure. I think he's more ready to contribute right away, and has a higher ceiling. Having said that, I think Williams has better hands

[sizzlingdoom]

Perfectly put. I think Wr and OLB are more pressing, but putting Foster in the middle of our defense would be ridiculous

Agreed. I would add Foster to that list

[BigUgly]

I think Lattimore, Davis, Williams, and Barnett could likely be gone by the time we pick, though an early run on QBs or OL could change that.  There is a chance Fournette could slide to them, but that is unlikely.  I think the Ravens trade of Jernigan indicates they think there are 1st-round equivalent players available as late as #75 overall.  If they can trade back and net another pick in that range, I think they take it.  I could see the Texans moving up to grab a QB.

Its been rumored that Fournette is being considered by the Browns at #1. So I seriously doubt he slides to us.

That would be a very Browns thing to do.

If you want to have some fun wasting time and playing GM, check this draft simulator out:  http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/

Using several different mock sources (for whatever that's worth), Thomas, Fournette or Lattimore frequently fall to #16, but no top WRs.  Still plenty of CB and OL depth in the 2nd and 3rd, but EDGE guys become scarce.  Useless, I know, but still fun to speculate..

I'm with that 100%. I truly do believe 100% that there will be multiple players going in round 3 that would go in round one in most drafts

Wow thats crazy. If I was a Browns fan and they took Fournette at one I would not be happy. I would be more comfortable if they moved a few spots back. But even then I think passing on Garret is a decision that would haunt them for a long time a la Haloti Ngata.

I totally agree. Rueben Foster is darn near like a Ray Lewis type of LB.
We all know how his career ended ! I think he is gone by #6 or #7....if teams stay put.

I'm on that bandwagon. This is a deep Draft for talent. The 2 Positions without 'stars' are QB and OL, but there are very good Players to find in the first 3 Rounds.....and beyond.

With the Trading of Jernigan, to move from #99 to #78 ?
This signals (A)..... that they have a deal in place to move up , or back.
(B) That they have identified 4 very good Players ,within their Board of top 80 Players, whom they believe can be 'difference makers' .

[Crusader]

Reuben Foster is not getting by the Bengals or Saints. Cory Davis highlights looks like he had a very accurate QB Zach Terrell throwing to him. I would also take a look at him.

[Crusader]

Have the Ravens ever posted their draft board after the draft? That would be interesting to see.

[Ravensfansince03]

This team is so flaky at drafting top-notch receivers that I'm not even sure if we should use our 1st round on a WR. Also it seems a no-brainer that..if they are so poor at judging on WR talent, why not just listen to other peoples opinion on who to draft. I wouldn't be mad if we used the 1st pick on a WR, just because of the fact that we are paying Flacco a lot of money, and right now he has no real go-to guys.

[Vitalvicious]

I like Corey Davis a lot. I also like Mike Williams if we did decide to draft a WR 1rd I would be fine with either but, I still say we need to solidify that secondary first. We could've had the honey badger in 2013 but went with Matt Elam smh. Let's finally put this 1st Rd pick to good use!
