Desmond King CB Iowa

I love King. If he is taken Cameron Sutton's size intrigues me.

If he makes it to our 2nd pick, hell yes. If only he were a better tackler. He has pretty much everything else you could ask for in a CB.

I actually thought he was a pretty good tackler from the games I saw thus far. Is there a game where you noticed him not tackling well? I love watching these prospects so I would be interested.

Not any that I've seen. From the few scouting reports that I've looked at on him, the only knock they have on him is his tackling, so I was just going off of that.

Sometimes these "scouts" need to be taken to task. They should have to write where they are drawing their inferences from. I saw him support the run and make some strong tackles in the Nebraska game. They should put time stamps after each statement so that nerds like me can check and confirm (which will never happen as it adds a bunch of work). I will be interested in seeing how well he runs at the combine.

Well to be fair, I should really watch more film before I make such a declarative statement about someone. I usually form opinions about players with my own eyes, though from time to time, I will defer to popular opinion.

I love that idea though. I'm a huge draft nerd, so timestamps in a scouting report linked to a youtube game breakdown would be flippin awesome.

Also, something I forgot. I love his ability at PR. Has he done kickoffs too?

I've only seen cuts of him playing defense. I need to check that out. Would love to have a solid punt returner/kick returner. Felt like we really missed Harris this year, though Lucky began to pick it up in the end.

Midway through the season I was very, very unimpressed with Whitehead, but yeah, damn he's really been trending upwards. I've been very impressed with his newly found vision and decision making. It's literally like a lightswitch flipped on for him. I'm looking forward to see what he can do next year.
