DT-Kalia Davis-UCF 6th Round 2022 Draft

Davis was drafted to replace DJ Jones. I'm still waiting to see how that pans out.

Kinlaws was drafted to replace Buckner. He will be on some other team next year and we might get a conditional pick in 2025.

I don't think Davis is that type of athlete. DJ Jones was a freaken tank. Kalia doesn't have the bulk or strength that DJ Jones had. Kalia Davis's game is predicated on quickness. He's more like Kevin Givens than DJ Jones. That doesn't mean he's limited to Givens' ceiling or production, but that's who his game more closely resembles. I see him more of a penetrating 3technique than a true nose.

Can he be a Chris Jones type of player?

Stepped in for Armstead and had himself a pretty solid game.

DJ Jones clone, his height plays to his advantage, more playing time will show he's another great pick

He seems more of a stout run stopper than a quick penetrator.

One-gapping three-technique with terrific snap quickness that creates early advantages with the potential to become full-scale disruptions. Davis is a former linebacker with above-average bend, foot quickness and athleticism to create mismatches for lumbering guards. He needs more schooling and refinement as both a run defender and pass rusher to become capable of competing against the spectrum of talent he will see on the next level. He hasn't played much football over the last two seasons, but his explosive flashes could foreshadow a bright upside as a disruptive, upfield talent.
