Nate Davis NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for Tennessee Titans' Pick

STRENGTHS

—Versatile offensive line prospect who has lined up at guard and tackle.

—Natural mover with very good balance and lateral agility. Easily moves in space to get upfield as a run-blocker.

—Slides well in pass protection and has a clean kick step with good body control.

—Exceptionally strong at the point of attack and has the power to move defenders off their spots in the running game or sit down against bull-rushers in pass protection.

—Handles speed-to-power conversions well.

WEAKNESSES

—A short (6'3"), stocky (316 lbs) player who might not meet the size requirements of some teams at tackle.

—Penalized with a four-game NCAA suspension for undisclosed violations in 2018.

—Played a very small level of competition at UNC Charlotte and was not challenged by NFL-caliber talent.

—Grew accustomed to playing slower, weaker defenders and will need to speed up his process in the pros.

—His hand power doesn't always pop the pads of defenders.

OVERALL

Nate Davis (selected 82nd overall by the Titans) looks like a candidate for a flawless transition from a small school to a starting guard position in the NFL. His athleticism and power make him a much easier projection than most small-school players, especially along the offensive line. If he can speed up his hands and reaction time, Davis could be a longtime starter.

GRADE: 6.15 (ROUND 3 — FUTURE STARTER)
