Bengals | Team might have interest in C. Davis
Sat, 1 Apr 2006 08:27:29 -0800

Tom Kubat, of the Journal and Courier, reports Purdue TE Charles Davis said the Cincinnati Bengals seem pretty interested in drafting him. When asked when or who will likely select him in the draft, Davis replied, "It's just a big waiting game now. From what I gathered at the combine and first pro day, it seemed like Cincinnati was pretty interested. But you really don't know."


Seems like a good second day pick.

Does not have very good speed...Won't be a threat to stretch the field...Is not the blocker he should be for a guy his size...Needs to work on and refine his technique...Upside is limited and may never be more than a backup in the pros.

I like Davis, I hope we do draft him. He was a two sport athlete at Purdue playing basketball as well, but he's no Antonio Gates. However he is a good enough athlete that he be an effective TE.
