Rodjahs12 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Still expecting us to draft a corner relatively high and I’d be surprised if King doesn’t get benched sometime during the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the norm would be not to exercise 10 picks, but I wonder if this is a year that you do Do we use one of those 4ths to trade up somewhere though? Also, LOL at your Lancaster comment. I doubt he gets $8 mil but somehow wouldn't be surprised if it happened. 2 minutes ago, HighCalebR said: But he didn't play #2 corner. He played left side. If we treat him like a #2 and give him help and act like JA is a #1 theres hope. kings not a scrub. Hes just not good. He and Chandon Sullivan are super subs IMHO. They can start in a pinch, but aren't long term starter material. This is where Asante Samuel Jr. works for us in the 3rd. He's not the biggest guy, but he's fast AF and can cover those speedy, smallish receivers that are like 5-10, 170 and run a 4.2....you know, guys coming in like Devonta Smith.

We go OT, CB, then IDL in the 3rd unless another great CB is there and then draft someone like Bobby Brown who can take about an hour on the tower of power on Day 3 who can eat up blocks and push the pocket the way Snacks was doing.

Joe Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Also, half the reason I came on today at this moment was to see all the King hate. Every Packer Facebook group is having an idiotic meltdown right now... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - always a chance we use a pick to move up. There's also a great reason to double dip at CB and DL. That's 4 picks alone. Throw in OT. Wr is gonna be thin after next year. ILB could use a pick.

If Funchess works out and we extend Adams, we should be just fine rolling with Lazard, MVS, and ESB. Also, I think we're fine at ILB. I was wrong about Martin and Barnes really stepped up this year. I think the question there is how does Barry use his LB's? 1 minute ago, vegas492 said: I despise the fact that I've talked myself into taking Zaven Collins or Bolton in the first round. I can sympathize. I think Bolton's the real deal, but our needs are far greater than upgrading at EDGE or ILB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many so called experts on here have a LOT of egg on their face. Dude's gonna be lucky to get 5 million. 10-12 mil a year? TROLOLOLOL, you gotta be joking.

That he isn’t Watt? he hasn’t had a bad career... it’s been average. Watt’s success and his injuries have overshadowed his career. Bad is like Ahmad Carrol type stuff. King has been an avg CB in the league. Edited March 23, 2021 by Green19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are crazy, or have absolutely no idea that there's tiers in between the best CBs and worst CBs in the NFL. If you lined all 64 starting outside CBs up in the NFL on week 1, very confident King would rank somewhere from 28-35. In no way does a player of that caliber suck.

packfanfb Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Packers just need 2019 King. Much like they need 2019 Preston Smith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
