2008 NFL Combine Open Thread: Fred Davis

by Jimmy on Feb 22, 2008 8:29 AM CST in Tennessee Titans News

Paul Kuharsky has an article up about USC tight end Fred Davis. Here is what one of the Titans' scouts had to say about Davis:

"He's a pretty good athlete, a good receiver, good hands, he's a pretty good football player," Brocato said. "He's got what it takes to be a two-way guy. He's better suited to be an H-back type -- in motion, flex him. He's not fast but he's not slow either. He can get open and make some nice catches. He was their go-to guy.

"I think he's fit in pretty good with us. I don't see any reason why he shouldn't."

Davis was a big play guy last season averaging more than 14 yards per catch. He was the first tight end to lead the Trojans in receptions since 1985. He seems to be the right fit for the Titans offense. They use a lot of H-back stuff, and Davis has the ability to stretch the field which is something the Titans desperately need, and it is typically easier for a tight end to come in and make an immediate impact than a wide receiver.

Here is the question: Let's assume that Alge Crumpler is healthy. Who would you rather have Davis or Crumpler?

Crumpler

He is already a proven pro bowler.

Crump

Alge Cumpler, hands down.

Crumpler and

either Martellus Bennett or Jermichael Finley. I'm willing to wager that one of these two TEs is in every pro-bowl for the next decade. Davis can be matched by OLBs, which greatly reduces his value for the Titans. We need SPEED UP THE SEAM

Crumpler...

we need a proven receiver and someone who can contribute immediately. It's time we make a big acquisition.

Go Titans!

Crumpler...

Anytime you can get a 'proven' player in FA I say you do it, then take another position of need in the draft.

That's how you aquire the most talent: combine the strengths of FA and the draft.

DEAR M. REINFELDT: PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD DRAFT EARL BENNETT!!!

Jeff Cottam!

That is who the Titans need. For real, he is a beast.

Isn't his name Brad?

Come on Kayne, you are a UT fan.

Jeff

is Brad's brother.

by kpocyclo on Feb 22, 2008 7:47 PM CST up reply actions

You are right

I got my brothers mixed up. Brad, Jeff...whatever...Brad Cottam is the older one.

So the Titans need Brad Cottam....or draft Jeff in 2 years.

Wow

That scouts take really blew me away! Pretty good, not fast not slow. Doesn't really sound like someone who's gonna rip it up in the league. Crumpler could be a game changer if he stays healthy. Everybody says he had a down year last year, but if our TE's would have had that kinda production it would have been a tremendous help.
