Day 1: Davis adds speed to Detroit?s linebacking corps as he can fly to the ball against the run and provide range in coverage. He?s a solid blitzer who has picked up six sacks, 16 QB hits and 23 hurries over the last three years. Davis was much-improved against the run in 2016, particularly before he played through an ankle injury that hampered his production.
Day 2: Detroit goes back to Florida to get Tabor who was in the first round mix before running a 4.62 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and over a 4.7 at his pro day. On the field, Tabor is a playmaker who got his hands on 32 passes (nine interceptions, 23 pass breakups) on 143 targets the last three years. He has a good feel for when to take chances, though it does catch up to him at times in the form of double moves. Tabor allowed a passer rating of only 41.2 on passes into his coverage over the last three seasons.
Day 3: Reeves-Maybin has the speed to fly to the ball, but his 37 missed tackles over the last three seasons are a concern. Roberts isn?t a blazer, but he uses his frame well to shield defenders and he?s a red-zone threat, with 22 of his 70 receptions going for touchdowns over the last three years. Ledbetter has the frame to line up on the edge or on the interior and he picked up six sacks, four QB hits, and 12 hurries on 316 rushes last season. Kaaya can move an offense with good accuracy in the short game, but his 41.3 percent adjusted completion percentage under pressure ranked 43rd among draft-eligible quarterbacks.
