[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 669845"] Both can run and jump, but the comparisons stop there. As discussed many times, Janis has meaningful special teams value, particularly at gunner. I take the drafting of Davis as a signal the Packers would like to add speed and better technical skills at the WR position while having a possible option in kick returns. In other words, I can't help but think they'd like to get away from Janis if they can do it with a modest investment in the form of a 5th. round pick. I find this observation regarding Davis somewhat interesting, coming from Sam Seale, the Packers' west coast regional scout: "Last year everybody dared us to go deep. I don't think they can do that with this kid....He has 10-inch hands. Up here in cold weather you need big hands. He went in traffic and took the big hit and held on to the football. That's what you need up here." Note that Janis has small hands at 9", especially for a 6'3" guy. While not an absolute disqualifier, it is one more element in the picture of a guy who is still working past alligator arming throws. It comes down to preseason competition...and whether another gunner emerges. [/QUOTE]
