With many in Packernation hoping for a top inside linebacker in this year’s draft, it is almost painful to think of the possibility that none of the top three ILB’s are still on the board. Could the Packers get help there in later rounds? This draft is not deep in ILB’s but Ted Thompson has found late round gems before.
In the meantime, here is another possible addition that could be available late in the first round and could bolster the Packers run defense. Additionally, he has shown in the Combine that the kid may have the ability to get up the field.
Davis played for Iowa, where they play a two-gap system so he is used to taking on double teams. This might be a good fit for Dom Capers and the Packers 3-4.
It all remains to be seen but Davis is a kid who wants to get a chance to show his stuff. Even a small improvement against the run could be a big boon for next year’s Packers team.
Go Pack!
If Danny Shelton is there in the second round he could be a nice pick for the NT
