I looked at the players and thought the same thing - then I realized that you had the #6 overall pick. If you get a pick that high, you have to come away with a true top 6 player. I don't view Davis as that guy.
That being said, the only other real flaw that I see is the trade with Pittsburgh. That's a pretty unlikely trade.

At this point in the draft (the way this played out), the true top 5 players were already gone (meaning no one reached on a QB). Davis, IMO is a top 10 player, and could be the missing piece for us opposite AJ.

Interesting. I would still have gone with one of these guys:
Fournette
Hooker
Allen
Thomas
Adams

Not even a hint of realism.
