Corey Davis, WR, Western Michigan

I’ll go out on a limb and call Davis the best receiver available in this year’s draft. He may be coming from a smaller school, but Davis has the potential to be the NFL’s next great receiver.

Davis is the all-time FBS leader with 5,205 career receiving yards and leaves Western Michigan as the only receiver in FBS history with over 300 receptions, 5,000 yards and 50 touchdowns in his career. The 6’3″, 213-pound wideout has the prototypical size of a No. 1 receiver. But in spite of his imposing size, he still runs smooth routes and brings good speed to the table. Davis has a formidable second gear, making him a major threat after the catch.

Davis has caught the eye of just about every team in the league in recent months and is quickly rising up draft boards. Right now, Davis could fall onto the Eagles’ lap, but a strong showing at the NFL Combine could result in another rise in stock for the Western Michigan product.
