Him or Adams? Abby has better hands but Adams is a speed demon. So which do you choose, hands or speed?
Davis is a speedy receiver who is capable of making yards after the catch and could turn into a deep threat at the pro level. I wonder if drafting him is a sign of the coaching staff still not feeling comfortable playing Janis more often.
Janis is not getting cut simply because he's one of the best gunners in the league, look how long Jarrett bush stuck around. And he's a far worse DB than Janis is a WR.
You surely can't be talking about Davonte Adams...I hope you're not calling him a "speed demon". You may want to reevaluate some things. However,If you've been drinking I'll let this comment slide .
Looking back, the 40 yard doesn't really read good numbers. However he makes good plays when he actually catches the ball. Abbey hasn't seen the field as much and Adams is still averaging 9.7 yards per catch, this past year looked bad I know but I don't think it's a reason to write him off right away. I think he will be usefull if he gets his hands undercontrol. Not saying that we don't have other options, just saying I'm not ready to write him off just yet.
That was one of the worst performances I've ever seen by a WR, and many of our struggles can be attributed to it. His talent is sufficient to be an NFL WR, but I question his desire to even want to get open. I think he's best used as a short yardage possession receiver or on bubble screens. He's almost worthless down the field, as he can't seem to get a lick of separation unless the coverage is blown. He's a 4th or 5th option IMO, they need better guys out there.9.7 yards per catch is absolutely terrible as that ranked 46th out of 48 receivers with at least 50 receptions last season. I´m not ready to write him off either but he has to significantly improve over last season´s performance to continue to get on the field.
If I were Adams I would be worried. We needed him to step up last year and he completely failed. If it wasn't for Janis heroics in the playoff game last year we would never of had a shot. I don't care if he was a 2nd round pick. He better step his game up fast or he will be by the wayside. IMO.
Yes. Davis would've been a welcome prospect had he been available after the bye last season.A lot was invested in Adams as a #2 (and #2 is also about right describing his play). He may be one of the worst (if not the absolute worst) season-long starting WR I've seen in more than 50 years of watching this team. He's slow, gets little if any separation, and he's dropped the ball too often at critical moments. Other than that he's average. He's going to have to make a leap of gargantuan proportions to play up to his draft status.
As West Coast scout Sam Seale stated in his recent press conference regarding the Trevor Davis pick, "Speed kills." It will be nice to have another receiver around who can actually outrun a DB, especially if he replaces one who can't.

Davis looks fine, it's tough to judge anything but speed when all he's doing is running in a straight line, but it appears to be good, though he's only 188. If he were in the 200 range, I'd be more excited. I like his hands, though. Seems like a guy with tools they can work with.
They obviously agree with us that the receivers were too slow last year, with the signing of Cook and this guy.
They have said that Davis's route running leaves some to be desired but thats nothing that WR coaches can't work with. The speed is good and the hands are good, which is more than you can say about Adams. As optimistic as I was trying to keep Davante around for a another chance, I guess there isn't much upside on taking a shot in the dark.
What would have changed? They made the divisional playoff round and lost in overtime due to a defensive brain spasm which gave up a long play. The offense was not at fault in overtime.

Well, that proves he's fast.Trevor Davis became the first draft pick to sign with the Packers.
