Overall

Anthony Davis is our second rated Offensive Tackle, but probably has a higher ceiling, and more potential than number 1 Russell Okung, as he has a tremendous combination of size and athleticism Davis' problems lie with his questionable character, poor work ethic, and weight issues, with those things becoming a bigger deal in the NFL, teams will be a bit weary investing a ton of money in this guy (The Bengals don't pick until 22). He has great athletic ability, and on the field is everything you want from a franchise Left Tackle, he does have minor technical things to work on, but those can be easily cleaned up. There is no way Davis should fall out of the top 10, if he can put his issues to rest, and get his stuff together, he will without a doubt be an Elite Left Tackle in the N.F.L
