Redskins Saturday Spotlight: Post-Week 5 seven-round mock draft
By Ian Cummings
Quartney Davis shouldn’t be available at this point, but in a staggeringly deep receiving class, he very well could be available at some point on Day 3. The Redskins have the luxury of picking at the very beginning of Round 5, and thus, they get the talent that trickles out of Round 4. That opportunity entails players like Davis.
Davis isn’t as flashy of a prospect as some of the top wide receivers in the 2020 NFL Draft, but he brings a pro potential that rivals some of those ranked higher than him. At 6-foot-2, 200, he has solid size for the receiver position, and he’s an easy mover to go along with it.
There aren’t a lot of holes in Davis’ game; he’s a mindful route runner who’s clearly advancing in that area, he’s a good athlete, and with multiple five-reception games under his belt this year, he’s starting to attain the tangible production that some scouts crave in particular.
Davis’ injury history, including a torn ACL, may be a knock in some departments, and in a deep, closely-ranked receiver class, it could be enough to send him into the rough. If he makes it that far, he’s a diamond that can’t be passed up. Davis would be a very nice compliment to Terry McLaurin on the outside.
