Is Jordan Davis The Right Pick At No. 17 For The Chargers? (Sports Illustrated)

So when the Chargers are up to select with the 17th pick of the NFL Draft on Thursday night, do they take that defensive rebuild a step further? Georgia ...

If he somehow falls to the second round, this very well could be the right pick for the team to make. And again the agility is there as he cuts inside for a near sack on Bryce Young (who threw the ball away at the last second). He initially works toward the B-gap before recognizing an even greater opportunity exists at the A-gap. He cuts inside, works toward the A-gap, and throws the center's hands up to the sky, releasing him from the Wolverine grasp and allowing him to get inside leverage. The reputation as a nasty run-stopper has not been questioned, but if there's an area that has been, it's Davis' efforts as a pass rusher. He brings rare speed for a guy that big, complimenting that with unbelievable power against the run. He was a unanimous All-American in his final season with the Bulldogs, who rewarded him with a National Championship victory over Alabama this past January.

Jordan Davis 40 time: Reliving Georgia DT's freaky combine that set ... (Sporting News)

Jordan Davis put forth one of the most impressive performances in NFL combine history in March. Here's a look at his numbers a nd how it affected his draft ...

Wherever the former Bulldogs star lands, he won't have to wait long to hear his name called during the 2022 NFL Draft. He was always considered a first-round pick even before the 2022 NFL Combine, as he was one of the most impactful interior defenders in college football last season. And if he could show good athleticism, he would have a chance to be a true, three-down playmaker at the NFL level. Now, it seems like his absolute floor would be the 17th pick to the Chargers, but he will likely go earlier than that. Davis was able to run the 40-yard dash in just 4.78 seconds. At the minimum, NFL teams knew that he would be a lane-clogger and a run stuffer. Davis didn't just find success during the 40-yard dash. During his combine workout, Davis was able to do that with ease. He posted an exceedingly rare 10 in Kent Lee Platte's Relative Athletic Score (RAS) metric, which measures the athleticism of a player compared to other players at the position. That said, there were still some questions about whether Davis would be a strong playmaker at the NFL level. Jordan Davis got a lot of love for his performance during the 2021 college football season. It's also worth noting that Davis recorded a 10-yard split of 1.68 seconds.

NFL Draft 2022: Eagles take mammoth defensive lineman Jordan ... (lehighvalleylive.com)

The Eagles used one of their first round selections Thursday to take a Georgia defensive tackle who won a national championship earlier this year.

Davis’ would require two linemen to block him as a nose tackle, opening up opportunities for the linebackers to diagnose the play and fill the gaps to make tackles. Davis has said that he watched videos of Fletcher Cox to learn how to play on the defensive line. During the first round of the NFL Draft Thursday night, Roseman did so by executing a trade and moving up to get an edge rusher.

Jordan Davis is the perfect Philly fit, according to his coaches (Bleeding Green Nation)

With the NFL Draft upon us, Jordan Davis, Georgia's mammoth 6-foot-6, 341-pound defensive tackle, and the Philadelphia Eagles keep intersecting on many mock ...

“I like the scheme of the Eagles’ defense, so Jordan getting up field and getting vertical won’t be a problem,” Walker said. Off the field, Jordan will be a fan favorite if the Eagles draft him.” The Eagles have the 15th and 18th picks in the first round. He’s going to be tasked to run 10 yards, and he can do that with great explosion. Jordan is a culture-changer. As a starter, he can be a three-down lineman. The Eagles have the team that can take him to a higher level. Once you meet him off the field, you tend to like him more. There is a lot to like about Davis on the field. But Smith and Walker point out Davis is not going to be asked to run 40 yards. Another part of Jordan is he still has a lot to be developed. Jordan is the guy that when you’re coming out of the tunnel, you want to be running with him.

Jordan Davis scouting report: 2022 NFL Draft profile, mock drafts (DraftKings Nation)

We break down Georgia DT Jordan Davis with a scouting report heading into the 2022 NFL Draft.

He also deflected a pass by getting up in the passing lane with his massive arms. He is a power player who will improve as a pass rusher. He’s never going to be the quickest DT and likely won’t ever rack up a ton of sacks or TFLs on the outside, at least he didn’t at UGA. But he has shed almost 20 pounds since the end of the season and had a very impressive combine. “This is a player who can solidify any team’s run defense. He will give their defensive line a major boost in the run game. He still finished the season with 32 total tackles, five tackles for loss and two sacks.
