On his third team in five seasons, Mike Davis finds himself in a good spot in Chicago. Sure the hype for Montgomery is at a fevered pitch, but in reality Davis only has a 3rd round pick and a 5'6" scatback to beat out for the lead role. Davis wavered in and out of favor during his time in Seattle, but his 4.6 yards-per-carry average was solid last season, and he stayed healthy enough to play in 15 games. He's a versatile, reliable NFL back that unfortunately, was likely signed as an insurance policy. Yes, he was able to hold off a 1st round rookie last season, so I wouldn't put it past him to delay Montgomery's ascension, but he'll honestly have to play his tail off in camp and early in the season to hold on to a lion's share of the rushes long term. Do keep in mind that Chicago was tied for 6th in the NFL last season with 468 rushing attempts, and 250 of those are now in Philly. There is going to be room in this backfield for Davis to carve out some value. If you draft Montgomery, handcuffing Davis is a must, but if Montgomery's ADP gets too rich for my liking, I'd look to snag Davis later in the draft and reap the value.
