Have seen him mocked to us in a couple drafts. Grades out at 6.35 "will be a starter in first couple seasons" . Nfl comparison is kiko Alonso His projections have been kinda all over between the 1st and 2nd round.

What sayeth Saints talk? I'd approve. I like him better than zaven collins but about the same as the other 1st round grade lb'ers.

Yeah im definitely not for trading up unless it's way up for a surtain or horn type. That would prob cost too much though. I'm fine with letting the first round play out and sitting tight. Someone will fall .

He could be Ray Lewis or a complete bust, and I won’t be shocked

Dude is not worth a first round pick. The Saints have got to stop with this developmental crap.

Go look at film breakdowns.

The dude is a 6-4 version of Deion Jones, I swear.

Phenomenal coverage skills and great run instincts. Perfect complement to Demario.

He is more Bud Dupree if anything. I don’t think he is a clean everything up type LB the Saints need. If you think he is more coverage, then god bless you. Throw the dice.

Don’t know what prospect you are watching, but it’s obviously not Jamin.

He was viewed as a third round talent before his pro day. It’s usually a red flag for guys that rise that fast before the draft. I’d pass in the first for sure.

No way. I think he’s a 2nd or 3rd round guy but he’s not worth a 1st. He’s got speed with not much production and even less experience dropping back in coverage. There will be much better players at 28.

Found an article about him... LINK

Why Jamin Davis Will Be a Stud Linebacker for the Saints

Jamin Davis has the talent and intangibles you want to become a stud linebacker for the New Orleans Saints for years to come.


Davis is bright, smooth, instinctive, and has a great defensive name, JAMIN!!! Stay put, and it instantly becomes the Davis Brothers Show in the Saints linebacking corps in 2021.

Who knows, one day, he could become Demario's heir in New Orleans.

Mike Detillier told Bob Rose and myself on the Bayou Blitz that Davis would be an great draft selection if the Saints remain at No. 28. He was concerned about Davis' lack of production early in his tenure at Kentucky.

Keeping the 28th overall selection in the 2021 NFL Draft could be a goldmine for New Orleans. Especially if teams panic and overdraft a player or if trades disrupt the flow of the draft, No. 28 could turn into a sweet spot.

The draft is deep with receivers, and chasing one would not be a wise move. Loomis and Payton need to retool. I believe the goal is to find an athlete with rare qualities that will be an immediate starter.

How would a 6-4 and 234-pound tackling machine at linebacker suit the Black and Gold? His muscular frame gives way to blazing speed at 4.37 and 4.41 seconds in the 40. Better yet, he broad jumps 11-feet and skies in the air with a 42-inch vertical leap.

He was the 3rd-leading tackler (102) in the SEC - many consider it the most difficult collegiate conference in football. Jamin jammed receivers in coverage with three interceptions and two passes defended. His presence alongside Demario Davis would neutralize match-up problems with larger running backs, tight ends, and wide receivers.

New Orleans is projected to be aggressive and make a trade to acquire a cornerback. Early reports have the Saints targeting CB Caleb Farley. However, his two back surgeries have become the issue for the young corner.

The Saints have the No. 28 pick in tomorrow's 2021 NFL Draft. Don't expect them to sit and wait.

Jamin Davis just got picked at 19...because of his coverage skills.

I equate Deion Jones mainly because of the coverage skills.
