I don't think you spend a #1 on a guy who can't tackle. Kevin King is too soft against the run for a guy with average cover skills.

He does have great length and speed but overall he's just not that good , IMO.

Funny thing to me is while we do need an upgrade in pass rushing, we lost 4 guys in our secondary.

Its also a huge need. We only lost Jack Crawford as a pass rusher, and he was terrible. Still had a decent amount of sacks, but INTs were low. We need DB help just as much, but everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of pass rusher. Be nice to get a pass rusher, but we need both DBs and pass rushers. No need to force one or the other.
I'm down with either one. If the team likes a DE best, then do it. DB? That's fine too because like you said, the need is great there.

we have numbers on the DLine, we are short in D backs.
we will draft a CB in the first. or second AND third rounds

1st- Kevin King CB Washington- Just don't make many like King...6'3 CB with 4.4 speed and dominated all of the agility tests at the combine. Long 6'3 gangly frame he uses to jam WR's in man, but his long arms are also weapons for pass break ups. 18 PBU's and 5 INT's the past 2 years. Former high school WR that does a good job locating the ball in the air to high point and make a play on the ball. Had circus 1 handed INT's on his resume. Only 1 TD allowed in last 101 throws against him...just needs to add a few pounds and work on his tackling technique, but not much to dislike about a CB this kind of size and athleticism


2nd- Marcus Williams S Utah- jack of all trades S with the size and tackling ability to play in the box, but also the range and athleticism to be an asset in coverage. Ball hawking traits with 10 INT's the past 2 years.


3rd- Daeshon Hall DE Texas A&M- Long and athletic DE that isn't developed yet, but has a high ceiling. Shows the burst and agility to think he can turn into a good pass rusher in time with coaching.



4th- George Kittle TE Iowa- Big, athletic, and blocks well. Wasn't used much as a receiving threat in Iowa's offense so route running is under developed...Decent hands though. underrated and falls through the cracks of a deep TE class.



6th- James Onwualu LB Notre Dame- Undersized LB that switched from WR to defense after his freshman year. The athletic traits of a WR show in space and he can be an asset in coverage. Supposed to have a "willing to run through a wall" mentality that should make him good on ST until/if he can get stronger and learn the LB position more.


7th- Collin Buchanan OT/OG Miami (OH)- RT with shortish arms that may need to kick inside but has the athleticism to stay at RT if he can overcome lack of length. Either way I like him as a developmental guy that can backup RT and LG

7th- Jahad Thomas RB/KR Temple- Pass catching RB with kick return ability. Agility and start/stop ability are great to make people miss in space.

I'd be happy. I would imagine Seattle passed on King to get a DE if this happens.

He's really not that soft tho...what games did you think he was particularly bad in?
