Sound off Eagles fans. What are your thoughts on the pick?
He’s considered the best run defender in the draft but told reporters at the Combine he can get to the quarterback as well. Davis had just 7.0 sacks in four years in Athens and 2.0 this past year.
“I feel when I have a disadvantage I want to make sure I try to even the odds and bring it up to the same level. It’s just all working and about improving. This is what it’s all about. In the offseason you want to get better. I definitely think I’m doing that.” “In the passing game, he has grown tremendously and his conditioning this season has seemingly contributed to this,” wrote Drae Harris of The Draft Network. “He is primarily a bull rusher who can push the pocket and put the center in the lap of the quarterback. He is extremely impactful as someone who absolutely commands a double team, which frees up other players in that front. In the run game, he is dominant. He is nearly impossible to single-block.
The Eagles are in a position now where they have a terrific three-man interior line rotation, and that could help Davis adjust to the NFL without having to play every snap and could help rejuvenate the 31-year-old Cox, who can rotate even more than he did last year.
