said about Davis:

Davis, Anthony Rutgers 6050 323 5.37
Junior entry. Three-year starter. Long arms and big hands for
the position. Has the lateral quickness to hook a defensive
tackle and set the edge. Powerful on down blocks. A better than
average athlete for the tackle position. Can stay square and
shadow the edge pass rusher. Can quick set and redirect with
natural body control. OK on a “Tex” stunt. Patient on switch.
Locks out and controls his opponent in pass protection. Has a
bounce in his step. Pulls around and can block on the move
although he does get high. Generally plays too high without proper
knee bend. Will lose his feet when he’s just trying to get push up
front. Needs technique work in pass protection. His body gets out
of control at times on the second level. Gets leveraged back and
put on skates every time he gets up on his toes in pass pro. More
of a pusher than a popper. Plays in both a two-point and threepoint
stance. Has the talent. Needs the technique. OSR:24/40.
First/second round. (A-34, H-10 1/8, BP-21, 10-1.85).
