Not a good blocker? Okay....

Yes. Amazing athlete. Waisted on Nolan though. Too bad Chancellor rearranged his DNA.

He was a completely different player on the field after getting smoked

Vernon Davis was one of the leagues elite TEs in his prime that any team would've loved to have, he may have turned soft after the Kam Chancellor hit in 2012. But this a horrible thread topic. He would've put up better numbers if he did have such worthless QBs like Alex Smith or Krap. If only Harbaugh and Baalke were good enough to close the deal on signing Peyton Manning in 2012
Davis was good but not great. He was an excellent blocker but he didn't play like a 4.38 TE. He's another in a long line of workout warriors that don't play as fast as their workouts. Lance said we isn't going to run a 40 because he thinks they're worthless. He prefers they look at the laser timing of him actually running in a football uni. That makes more sense. I never understood timing guys on a track, wearing shorts and starting out of a sprinters stance. It has no real bearing on how fast they play on the field.
He did play like a 4.38 TE... with suspect hands, poor route running, and no elusiveness after the catch.

6th overall pick? Probably not but for sure worth a mid to late first round pick. I remember when we drafted him I expected him to be one to break a ton of tackles in addition to his crazy speed. He seemed to always want to hurdle defenders, which sometimes worked and other times looked awkward. Great blocker and caught the biggest TD in recent playoff history.

He was one of the best blocking TEs in the pleague. I dont think he watched 49ers football during that time.

Alright....i will take back the blocking comment. Just wanted to see who bit on it!
Still not worth it though.

I never said bust. The question was whether he was worth a 6th overall pick.
