I don't think anybody is bitching on this one.

This is what someone wrote on nfl.com:

"Mega sleeper in the late/UFA rounds if teams aren't paying attention. Small school guy with tremendous athleticism for a bigger guy, you cannot teach what he has. He had lots of long plays last season, you can tell on tape he can really fly and he proved it at the combine. 41" vertical and 11-4 broad are completely ridiculous. Makes me want to know more about his story and how he ended up at GSU. If a team can coach him up and refine his technique, he could be one of those very, very special guys who surprises out of nowhere. It really is 1st-round athleticism, his size and times are comparing with Julio Jones of all people. Related to Panthers LB/S Thomas Davis. Scored a TD v Washington and Wisconsin."

He was also the #1 WR in terms of SPARQ rating.

I am intrigued by this pick. Sometimes small guys have skills and NFL size but need polish.

NOTES ON THE SELECTION OF ROBERT DAVIS



· Davis is the 463rd selection made by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967) and the 56th sixth-round selection in that time frame. He is the 82nd sixth-round selection by the Redskins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936.

· With Davis’ selection, the Redskins have now selected at least one wide receiver in each of the last four drafts (Ryan Grant in 2014, Jamison Crowder and Evan Spencer in 2015, Josh Doctson in 2016). This marks the Redskins’ longest such streak since a four-year span across the 2008-11 drafts.

· Davis is the first player from Georgia State selected by the Redskins all-time. It marks the first time the Redskins have selected a player from a school not represented in the team’s previous draft history since making Alfred Morris the Redskins’ first selection from Florida Atlantic in team history in the 2012 NFL Draft.

· Davis is only the second player in Georgia State history to be selected in the NFL Draft, joining offensive lineman John Ulrick (Indianapolis, 2014).

· Davis is the third player selected by the Redskins with the No. 209 overall selection all-time, joining B Roger Robinson (1946) and QB Joe Kapp (1959).

· Davis was selected with a pick acquired from the Houston Texans via trade during the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. The other pick acquired by the Redskins in the deal was also used to select a wide receiver – TCU’s Josh Doctson – with the No. 22 overall pick in 2016.
