The Washington Football Team’s 2021 NFL Draft class is set. Now, it’s time to take a closer look at what they added.

In Round 1, the Washington Football Team mounted a bit of a surprise move, adding Kentucky linebacker Jamin Davis. Davis, a 22-year old who peaked with the Wildcats in 2020, rode elite athletic testing and strong interviews into Round 1, but for much of the offseason, he flew under the radar.

Now that Davis has been picked by Washington, many are curious: Was it the right pick, and does he have the potential to warrant the selection, especially over other prospects like Christian Darrisaw, Rashod Bateman, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, and Trevon Moehrig?

That’s what we’ll aim to figure out in this article. Here’s a look at the details of Jamin Davis’ prospect profile, and whether he can provide value for the Washington Football Team.
