He has corner cover skills and great instincts for playing safety. He is not a huge hitter but I think that is probably one of the most overrated aspects of the position. Give me a guy that can cover and is a sound tackler over big hits any day.Kalia is also a former LB then beefed up to play DL obviously
I absolutely wanted a 3 technique earlier but I am not overly concerned in that on passing downs we have several guys that can play inside or out such as Sample, Hubert, and Kareem. As well Hubbard has been a guy that has shown some ability moving inside on passing downs because of his sheer strength.
I have found out a bit more about Kalia Davis that makes his positioning in the draft more understandable. It is not because of ability or missing aspects of his game as much as it is that he tore his ACL in November. Most profiles talk about his ability and that he certainly will be considered developmental but could bring value early on as a third down inside rush specialist while the rest of his game is groomed. He did not participate in many drills at the UCF Pro Day since he is rehabbing but he did put up 30 reps would have placed 4th at the combine.
