Demario Davis

Even with his increasing recognition, Davis might be the most underrated linebacker in the league. He's been a shutdown force both against the run and the pass, and he reliably gets to the quarterback when he's sent on a blitz. Davis' play is so good that it ultimately limits his tackle upside - passes his way often hit the ground, and drives have a way of ending sooner because of his presence - but he's still posted 221 tackles over his 1,883 snaps with the Saints. That projects to about 117 tackles per 1,000 snaps, which is generously complemented by nine sacks in the same sample (roughly five sacks per 1,000 snaps). The fact that Davis has just one interception but 16 passes defended in that sample implies the potential for an imminent interception spree, too. His relatively modest tackle production generally leaves him short of a top-12 projection at linebacker, but his sack and turnover upside could lead him to overachieve relative to that calculation.
