New projections for rookie WR Corey Davis

A new guess at what the Tennessee Titans will get out of 5th overall pick Corey Davis.

Last week I posted an article about Mike Clay’s projections for the Tennessee Titans.

Those projections included everything from win total, starting defenders, individual stats, and even win percentage per game. My eyes immediately went to Corey Davis and his stats.

Clay projects Davis to end up with 66 rec., 867 yards and 6.5 TDs.

At first, I was sort of underwhelmed by that. Then I looked up how few rookie wide receivers actually finish with better numbers and I understood the need for the conservative projections.

Recently, Bucky Brooks put out his 1st round rookie projections for NFL.com. So of course, I immediately scrolled down to Corey Davis.

Brooks projects Davis to end up with 50 rec., 675 yards and 8 TD.

That is actually underwhelming except for the touchdown numbers. While his 13.5 yards per catch is really nice, only 50 receptions isn’t great.

That would mean that on a per game basis, Davis would only get slightly more than three catches per game. That seems WAY too low for me.

Brooks did project Davis as the best wide receiver in the first round with more catches and yards than Mike Williams and John Ross. Davis even had more touchdowns than Williams, though he and Ross were equal.

It makes sense to be conservative at this point, but I think that Corey Davis will end up a lot closer to Mike Clay’s projection than where Bucky Brooks has him.
