How'd you get the sig off? Mine keeps showing up as the stupid Rams too.

It seems to me that picks in the top half of the first round are for exceptional talents with very low risk of failure. The bottom half of the first round is where you start going after exceptional talents that have higher risk. If Davis has a risk of being too unmotivated, you do not draft him this early.
Remember Kwame Harris? He was rated a top 10 to 15 talent by many, but he never seemed to produce at a sufficient level in pass protection. Too many people who should know simply failed to properly evaluate him. What was his problem? I am nothing but a poor amateur, but he seemed slow-footed and lacked fire. He would hang his head after every holding penalty or blown pass protection as if he was demoralized.
Davis has been a much better player in college than Kwame was.
The question is, which player would you rather have? Davis or Brown?
Davis is perfect for what we want in a right tackle, and we would have to accommodate our offense for Brown because he is not a mauler.
I have never seen an O-lineman get knocked on their backside as much as Kwame did.
I can't imagine the same thing happening to Davis, he is a much more powerfully built man than Kwame.
Good question and a hard one to answer. Both have a lot of upside but both also have a lot of bust factors. I do think Davis is more NFL ready than Brown but I think Brown is a bit of a safer pick even though he may a year away from starting in the NFL and he also has big upside to him. I'd probably lean towards taking Davis just because I think he would be a better fit at RT than Brown but I wouldn't complain if we got either but I also wouldn't be all that crazy if we took either. I wish somehow we could get Trent Williams at 13 or move up a few spots to get him and then at 17 go best player available and hopefully take Brandon Graham.
Davis has better overall technique than Brown imo. Plus getting Brown would mean moving Staley to the right side and Staley isn't a good run blocker or a mauler type of lineman. They need a guy with a mean streak and a attitude.
First of all Staley played well at RT as a rookie so we know he can play there and second of all why would we have to move him to RT anyways?

if they pick davis at 13(depending on who the BPA is)the 9ers are gonna shoot themselves in the foot..

What you need to realize is in the greater scheme of things, it does not matter!! They will pick according to their board and there is no reason to get all wound up about it

They would move him to RT if they drafted Brown b/c Brown can't play RT.

He's one of the most gifted blockers in the draft. When college football ended Davis was right behind Okung as far as OT rankings go. I think Singletary and company can keep him in check.
