MockDraft 101′s Opinion:
- David is a high motor LB who is all over the place. In games we viewed of Nebraska, Davis seemed to be around every ball on almost every play. His instincts are one of the best among all defensive prospects in this draft. His size will prevent him from going any higher than mid-2nd, and he’s limited to a WLB in a 4-3, but make no mistake, he brings it on every play and should experience a solid NFL career.
