Draft stock tends to be important when evaluating players and projecting depth charts. But that's not necessarily the case when the team which drafted the player quickly gives up on him. And that's what happened with Shawn Davis, selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the fifth round of last year's draft. Now, he has a chance to revive his career as a possible third safety with the Green Bay Packers.
It's unusual for a team to cut such a high draft capital so fast, especially for a general manager as Chris Ballard, who puts significant value in building through the draft.
