Cincinnati is excited about his size at the corner position

The Cincinnati Bengals are all in on revamping the defensive side of the football, and they have used two draft picks so far on defensive end Cashius Howell and cornerback Tacario Davis. Davis is a unique prospect because of his build at the position. If you are wondering about his size, Davis has great measurables at 6โ€™ 4โ€, 194 pounds, nearly 34-inch arms, and over an 80-inch wingspan.

Again, Davis is a unique selection for the Bengals because he is a unicorn at CB, with 99th-percentile height and 95th-percentile arm length, per Gridiron Grading. Davis does have lower production in comparison to his impressive build, which does almost make this a developmental selection for the Bengals, but he will likely see playing time in his rookie year. New Bengals CB Tacario Davis was 79th overall on our board He is a unicorn at CB with 99th percentile height and 95th percentile arm length.

Freakish traits. Production profile isnโ€™t great and makes it more of a developmental play. Wouldโ€™ve preferred other CBs in this class.
