Nate Davis positives

I am going to pull from one of the articles I recently wrote about Nate Davis which you can find here if you want to read more. However, this is the part that Eagles fans should care about the most.

When looking at Nate Davis, you have to remember that he was forced to play a year early due to injuries and that it was always going to take some time for him to elevate himself from “offensive tackle at Charlotte” to “starting NFL guard”.

Unsurprisingly that is exactly what happened, but don’t let that distract you from the fact that once he caught on and started to get comfortable, he really took off just look at his PFF grades:

"Now to contextualize that, a 71.5 grade for the season would have made Davis the 12th highest graded guard in the NFL (among players who actually played most the games) and it would be one spot ahead of Rodger Saffold. If that can continue and the Tennessee Titans enter the season with Taylor Lewan, two of the best guards in the NFL and Ben Jones who is always incredibly consistent, it almost won’t matter who plays right tackle for them. Now the question is, can Tennessee start a season strong for the first time in a decade? Or will this be another year where fans have to watch them attempt to get into form for an entire year only to have a chance to claw their way into the postseason in Week 17?"

The point behind this analysis was that the Titans are most untested at right guard and right tackle after losing Jack Conklin. Davis showed that he could do it with a good right tackle (which is what the Eagles have) so there isn’t much projection there.

This could mean that Davis is an even better fit in Philly than he is in Tennessee right now.

Could the Titans survive a trade?
