His Draft Stock Could Soar

There is no doubt that Davis is a first round talent. He checks every box that a draft scout could possibly have for a wide receiver. At the end of the day, the Ravens may have no chance to get this guy. If Davis outshines his fellow draft prospects at the NFL combine, then he could be a top 10 pick. The Ravens have to hope he falls to 16th.

There are other wide receivers in this draft worthy of a top selection. Mike Williams is somebody competing with Davis. Williams is another  6’3″ speedy wide receiver. He comes from Clemson, so the bigger spotlight may make him the top wide receiver in this draft. Davis just seems to be a special talent, the kind of player that the Ravens have always lacked.
