Why is it that a player from a lesser school should have produced more against better competition and the fault is on him whereas a WR like Williams gets a pass against top competition because it's the QB's fault? Plus, Davis playing in a weaker conference means a majority of his teammates are also inferior to those bigger schools. So it's harder to get production when so much of your team is struggling. Williams plays at a top program with top talent all around him. That needs to be factored in too.

Regardless, I'd rather have John Ross over both Williams and Davis anyway.

For me, there's multiple concerns with Davis.  WR has a steep learning curve, and his will be even steeper coming from a weak conference.  Also, throw in the fact that he's going to be trying to make that transition while recovering from injury.  On top of that, a large part of his allure is that he is supposed to have a great combo of size, speed, and agility, and nobody has a 40 time on the guy.  Lots of small school prospects look faster than they really are on film due to the comparatively worse athletes around them.  

I think we need to get an immediate impact guy at 9, but signs seem to point to Davis needng a year or so to get up to speed.
