Going up means giving up picks. Can't constantly keep doing that.

James Washington was only 5 picks away. You could easily give up a 5th.
Maybe as far as cvg goes but kings ball skills and instincts are 3x better than averrets. that whole washington secondary was sick. Type of cbs and S i feel that ravens need

Kevin King sucks.
ill take king over averret anyday. I hate cbs who cant play the ball unless its right in front of them.. one of the biggest reasons why im not really into hump like that
if you hate cbs who dont play the ball then you probably should have hated kevin king too - he had a couple spectacular plays on the ball but ultimately was a large cover corner who did not make consistent plays on the ball but would get away with it because of his weird and ridiculous length - he so often would mirror his man and guess when the ball was coming rather than tracking the ball and making a play on it

youre wrong. kevin king is raw ass. packers shit the bed on that one chasing after a tall/long corner. what other reason would they take a cb 1 and 2 the very next year?

King going as high as he did was strange considering the better player from his college secondary was still on the board. Guess they just decided to bite hard on a project player.
What am i wrong about? King def has great bal skills!

oh i know lol, i was dumbfounded by that one, its not as bad as kolton miller at 15, but it was bad.
i think they got these right though. alexander and jackson 1 and 2 is a serious haul for a team that needs secondary help

no he doesnt? hes just long and he was in good position to make a good play on the ball here and there in college. he doesnt have nfl ball skills, he flails his arms. you talk shit about humphrey and then say king has ball skills? cmon man
you do know that best cbs in nfl can guess when the ball is comong or atleast can anticipate it. Im not saying he is a good cb but to compare him to averret isnt the right comparison at all.. players with bad ball skills is someone like aj bouye. He plays great fking cvg but look at what brown was doing to him, bouye just couldnt get his head around. all im saying is that a cb should have those intangibles if someone is expecting him to be great
Maybe we are both thinking different on what ball skills is.. im talking about looking for the ball, tracking it, getting your head around or even anticapating when the ball is thrown.

well king doesnt do that...
Most likely would have cost a 5th and a 6th

not to mention who the fuck expects the steelers who have antonio brown and juju, to pick a 2nd round wr
Dude you’re the one who brought up the comparison
And king has shown few ball skills in the nfl just like he didn’t show ball skills in college either

Shit I would've been happy with Jackson at 16. Packers killed it with the secondary picks and they get to face the best in training camp.
Averett was also a solid pickup imo and gives us more breathing room for depth especially since he plays the outside
someone else brung up that comparison.. and king most def showed ball skills
Im college
