Gotta just trust our guys on this one I guess. When a guy's been passed on over 170 or so times...it just doesn't even matter anymore, ya know? Small chance they ever produce at a large level...but fun to hope.

Wonder how well he blocks?

According to Alo he blocked like shit at the combine.

Not being a scrooge but this guy does nothing for me. If it wasn't for the PR push Clemson gave these guys nobody would be sporting wood about him.

Still amazed you pass up a guy like Jennings who has so much potential given his size and speed. Not only that, there were a bunch of other backs sitting there.

I'd like to see some guys brought in here to compete.

Davis is going to play like a top pick.

Then the draft looks even better and in terms of money it has its merits

But the facts are JA#30 Davis#195

The advisary committe must have scored a 13 on the wonderlic to have him in the 2nd round. Thats a heck of a drop in 1 season.

I agree those are the facts....that doesn't mean there is that big of a gap in ability.

Well when your team gets a lot worse and you switch to a tandem RB crew that will happen. His production for his amount of carries is still great.

5.15 career ypc average also... he can play.

last years Clemson team wasn't very good and davis' numbers took a hit. His teams the two years prior were good, and his numbers reflected.

Last year Davis considered leaving early. The advisory committee gave him a second round grade.

That isn't that far from the 30th pick last time I checked.

As a fellow hammer, i wan't Davis to suceed also.

I know where Addai was picked....I just don't think Davis is that far behind.

He is now saying he would have done much better if he had gotten watermelon flavor.

How does anybody let a genious like that slip to the 6th round?

I hope he does fine, i'm not too optimistic though.

@hammertime said:

Got himself a whopping 14 on that there wonderlick test!

It was reported he was dreading the wonderlick test. He tried getting to the center in just 3 licks, like the owl, but was unsuccessful. Had to settle for 14.

i've got kool-aid running all down my face.

here's the million dollar question: how smart is he? and can he read blitzes?

He's super bright!!!!!!!!!!

He looks like he will be pretty good.

See dude, just hot damn to that.

It's not like RB's haven't come from the 6th before. I know the odds are less, yada, yada, yada.

In his radio interview:

- He and Jamal went to the same high school

- They worked out together in Atlanta

- He wants to catch the ball too

- Doesn't mind a two back system (of course), especially if its with Jamal

Let the Thunder roll in.

Because, the NFL, when Davis was a junior, in 07, when he had a great year, designated him potentially a 2nd? or at least 3rd round pick.

Like stated above, his much lower numbers weren't his ability, the offense struggle outside of his abilities to run the football.

The exciting thing is, we will finally get to see these players see playing time !

I have always hated the Browns coaches that put rookies on the "not going to play list until I have no choice" list.

that was always stupid.

I don't care what anyone says, when a player goes to his fav team he gives a little extra..

However, if we really wanted Mack, then the trade down to the Eagles allowing us to pick up Thunder Davis was worth doing, IMHO.

The vid above gets me going about him. Yes, it's a highlight real, but he does seem to break tackles against good competition (not like team who UConn or Liberty would play)- a must in the AFC North. It's nice to be somewhat hopeful about a 6th rounder.

When Davis was interviewed, he was quoted as saying the best part of it was that the Browns are his favorite team.

Davis isn't a power runner, but he is a inside runner.

He has good vision to see the hole, and is quick and decisive to the hole. While he isn't going to piledrive people and carry them 5 yards, he isn't a weak runner. He runs with a good pad level and can shed tackles.

When I think of Davis, I think of Joseph Addai. They are the same type of back and I honestly think the skill levels are close.

I don't think there are many people who wouldn't want Joseph Addai in their backfield.

In time, I think there won't be many who wouldn't want James Davis lugging the rock.

Joseph Addia was a first round pick(30th) there skill levels are not even close. Davis may make the team by default but he's a long ways from JA.

Lowers his shoulder and keeps his feet chopping.
