Amara Darboh
Has a versatile route tree and is a great blocker, something McVay seems to like in his receivers, I think of a Robert Woods type player. Makes the contested catches and is not afraid to take a hit. Well-built receiver with the ability to break tackles after the catch. He does need to get better at catching inaccurate passes and his hands are average.
Robert Davis
Great size at 6'3" 215 and ran a 4.41 at the combine. Great production at a small school with 178 receptions in three seasons, was also the leading receiver in his freshman year. Related to Thomas Davis of the Panthers, so I think he'll have some fire for him. He's a hands catcher with great body control with good tracking ability. Ran a lot of pro-style routes and excelled in doing so. Will be curious to see how his speed and breaks translate to the NFL, but this guy is my deep sleeper that I believe will be an important role on a team one day. I'll assume he slipped through the cracks once coming out of high school, but I don't think he will this time.
Drew Morgan
Plays faster than his 40 would suggest and has great footwork to be press coverage in a hurry. He runs great routes and has experience running option routes at Arkansas, so he's advanced in that he can read coverages and run routes at any level. Strong hands, only 8 drops in three years, but is not all that physical on contested catches. I think of a poor-man's Ju-Ju.
You hint at my issue with Amara Darboh...he fights the ball and has hard hands. It's a bit of a death knell for me in a receiver. If he can find a work around with the issue I agree that the other parts of his game are impressive.
Robert Davis is a guy I want to see more of after he tested so impressively. Only found a 2015 game and didn't see the dominance I was expecting vs lower level competition. He was SERIOUSLY limited by his QBs skillset/play however. Davis could've gotten deep all day but his QB couldn't get it there forcing Davis to wait on passes. One pure Davis issue was winning those now 50/50 passes vs obviously smaller and less athletic CBs. Didn't create separation short and intermediate vs those same corners and left his feet for all passes instead of snatching them with his hands so his feet could maintain contact with the ground and immediately get YAC. Wish I had 2016 games to see where he improved.
Almost completely agree on Drew Morgan. I just think his deep speed is accurate. He's not fast or explosive...he is extremely quick however and can find a role with that.
