Tyler Linderbaum maybe the safest pick offensively. But, again, due to size queens you'll probably see him slip into a good situation and quietly carve out a really good ten year career.

I've heard some well known draft pundits say they watched Davis and they don't see the effort.  They say, a lot of time, the ball is snapped and he just leans on the guy(s) in front of him.

I watched virtually every Georgia game last year. And, I can tell you for a fact. Everybody hyping up Walker, Wyatt, Cine & Dean do not make half the plays they make without Davis' efforts last year. It all started with him. Period. 

A lot of those "he was just leaning on the guy in front of him" came at times when they were blowing out teams like Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Georgia Tech, etc. In the games that mattered the most? He was constantly hustling, constantly demanding double teams and constantly redirecting the flow of the running game elsewhere. 

Jordan Davis is Leonard Williams on the low end of his potential in the NFL or Fletcher Cox at the high end of his potential, if not, better. He'll be the first DT drafted from this class and he'll probably go onto ultimately have more of an impact than Hutchinson, Thibodeaux & Walker much earlier on in his career.
