25th Pick: Vontae Davis CB Illinois

By Ronn Burner • on April 25, 2009

Amazing. A gift fell into our lap provided he cleans up his off the field character stuff. Talent wise Davis is a stud at 6′0″ 204 lbs and runs his 40 in 4.49 seconds, the cone drill in 6.75 and the 20 yard shuttle in 4.07 which are all great times for a big cover corner, with toughness and tackling ability to go with his excellent tackling skills. Not to mention the fact that he benched 225 lbs 25 times which is spectacular. Davis is the new starting CB for the Dolphins and all of the sudden along with Will Allen, Gibril Wilson and Yeremiah Bell the one glaring weakness in the Dolphin Defense was the secondary and it is now in line to be a major strength. An absolutely excellent pick by the Dolphins and we can now focus on getting our WR and OLB in the 2nd round. Could the football Gods be with us and allow Connor Barwin to fall to 44 and Brian Robiskie to 56? If so… we had the best top 3 picks imaginable. Oh if only. We’ll see…
