Davis to..
- Thread starter BlakNGoldAllDay
- Start date
3rd guy from us that’s played for them. You should be used to it. Even though Troupe didn’t play much.
he made it.. I don't see what in what scenario he should have stayed. Literally the most productive season in UCF history for a receiver idk what else he could have done.

This is such a bad take.
He's a kid who just turned 21, and if he makes the Bills roster - he's starting at 750k. How many of us were making that kind of money right of college (or ever in my case)?
Three-year starter, Gabe had nothing else to come back to UCF for. Risk a career-ending injury for what? A season that may not even happen until the Spring?
By the way, going to the Bills is a decent landing spot for him. Depth chart is pretty crowded with Diggs/Brown/Beasley, but all those guys are under 6-0. Davis has a chance to stick as a bigger red-zone target. Not a huge fan of Josh Allen, but he does throw a decent deep ball. I think Davis has a very good chance to make the team.

From Bleacher Report:
128. Buffalo Bills: Gabriel Davis, WR, UCF
Strengths: Vertical game, blocking
Weaknesses: Route running
Davis is a pure boundary deep threat. The Knights lined him up outside the numbers for snap after snap and asked him to run deep, run a comeback, catch a screen, or just step off the line and get in his defender's way. His deep skills are excellent—he has a third gear to get past defenders, tracks the ball well and has a habit of drawing pass interference penalties from smoldering defenders—but everything else needs work.
It's hard to project Davis' role in most NFL offenses. He may not have the pure speed to be a lift-the-lid deep threat, and he lacks experience running a full route tree or working the middle of the field. Ultimately, his blocking could keep him on the roster (as a special teamer) and on the field (as a slot weapon who can help out the running back when not stretching the seam). Davis could have a Courtland Sutton-like impact if he proves that he can do more than run fast in a straight line.
And of course, it’s easy to guess what the Bills have in store for him: chasing down Josh Allen pumpkin chucks up the sideline.
Grade: B

....and then what if there isn’t a Senior year for him this fall. He made the right choice. It made sense.
Pumpkin chucks!!! That’s funny. Didn’t Bills get Fromm too?
Should Gabe have come back for senior year?
As a baseline, If Trey Nixon has a Gabriel monster like season this year, proceeds to the draft and goes earlier than Gabe did, then an argument could be made. WR pool in 2021 NFL draft won’t be as deep as this year.
Depends if Trey goes 2nd or 3rd rounds. That money is significantly more attractive than 4th round money. You dig?

A thing of notice, especially for non P5 programs unfortunately is that it seems only one receiver can get enough recognition to be drafted each year. Do you see Tre'quan and Gabe getting drafted if their production was split evenly with Snelson/Nixon/Marlon? For programs like LSU, WR1 and WR2 both get enough media coverage to secure a spot.
Not to pee in anybodies cheerios but I just haven't seen anything from Tre to make me think he is all of a sudden going to blow up....but maybe as the QB goes, so do the WRs. Assuming DG does progress the whole group should get better.
Malcolm Perry, Navy QB, picked by Dolphins. One highlight was a long run against us when we had Hughes.
Without Pro day many players didn't have a chance to get drafted in 2020. If Killins had run a 4.3 forty he would have been drafted. Many other athletes never had the chance to shine. Oh well, we'll see how the free agents signing goes but it usually goes very badly for those who are not looked at as the teams drafted players.
Jags are very thin at LB. so that’s good
Clark went to Vikings. They drafted 4 DBs plus whoever else is on roster. Why would he pick them?
If that’s the case he better hope he makes practice squad. Then a couple guys get hurt.

Says there he is 8th best player not drafted. Had to have more offers. 1 more round and he gets drafted.

Maybe the team gave him an informal guarantee of a practice squad spot. The money isn’t chump change on the PS after this last CBA negotiation
Yeah if he makes 53 he gets league minimum at least. Practice squad get $8K per week at least. Plus any team in league can snatch you if they want to put you on their 53.
A buddy told me AK had offers from several team too.
Reason the Vikes- they have 0 guaranteed starters at CB. Mike and the last year's pick have the advantage, but no returning starters. It's wide open.
