The Houston Texans select Julien Davenport, OT, Bucknell

Julien Davenport, Bucknell, #70

Game Film Evaluated:
VMI (2016)


Summary: Julien Davenport has the look of a professional tackle. He has good quickness and the potential footwork to play the position at the next level. He has a long way to go with technique, proper hand placement and keep the feet moving. He shows excellent ability to stick in pass protection, stay upright, doesn’t get caught reaching or bending at the waist. He has got to add more fire to his game, doesn’t block to the whistle and fairly limited effort in plays once it leaves his area. He can get to the next level and needs to keep the feet moving to round out his game. He will get a eye opening experience at the senior bowl but the ability is there, he will struggle on day one but the key is whether he improves throughout the week. If he does, I would most definitely take a flyer on him. 

Julien Davenport is a late round to priority free agent type prospect but he would jump into the 5th round depending on the amount of improvement he shows in Mobile.
