Rotoworld analysis :
Washington Football Team selected Kentucky LB Jamin Davis with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Davis (6’4/234) hits the No. 19 pick shot out of a hype cannon. One of the hottest names in the class, Davis turned in a monster 2020 — quite the year to do so — with 102 tackles and three picks in 10 contests. He boasts insane range and lateral ability paired with ninja-quick reflexes. Davis has just one standout season to fall back on, so there is some bust risk here. Specifically, NFL.com's Lance Zierlein believes Davis needs to "improve his technique in taking on blocks and constricting run lanes." But if the Kentucky ‘backer can build on his gains from this past season, he might just be scratching the surface of his talent.

He has elite defensive coaching and players all around him. This has boom written all over it, not bust.

I don't think he is going to be asked to take on linemen given our DL. Moreso looks like he has the athleticism and ability to take advantage of what our front 4 should be able to do.

Interesting that a lot of OT needy teams have passed on Darrisaw so far up to and including Indy, just proves I know nothing. OT have a history of being overdrafted so he must have some rough edges.

No more tight ends burning us. That was a major problem. He can stop the run, his only weakness is lack of experience but he has all the physical attributes to be coached up for coverage and we have a great defensive staff to do so. He is going to be a stud.

The more I read about Davis, the more I love the pick. If anything we as fans think we know what our team will do, but we really don’t. JOK, and Darrisaw were both there at 19, and the team passed on both.

JOK is a system type LB he has to be in the right fit which is why he’s falling

As a Louisville Cardinal fan and season ticket holder ... it pains me to say that this kid Jamin Davis is really good.
It also pains me to say that the University of Kentucky has produced some pretty good NFL Defenders of late ... Wesley Woodyard, Danny Trevathan, Bud Dupree, Josh Allen ... so hopefully Jamin Davis is next in line.
I think that with our D-line strength, Jamin will have all kinds of chances to blow people up.
I like this pick. I hate his alma mater.
HTTR.
And fuck you Dallas.

Im still amazed at how awful Mike Mayock is. Thank God he is not our GM.

I like what draft expert Jordan Reid wrote:

Jamin Davis
LB, Kentucky
This is my surprise pick of the first round. Davis has experienced a meteoric rise since the end of the season. At 6-foot-3 ˝ and 234 pounds, he ran an official 4.41. That speed matches the tape, as he’s a patient and instinctive second-level player. With a need at linebacker and considering that he has a military background, Davis is someone that will appeal to Ron Rivera. Military kids are known for their structure and discipline, which could give him a significant boost up. A bit of a late bloomer, Davis’ best playing days could be ahead of him as he continues to gain exposure in the middle
