    Desmond King, cornerback, Iowa, senior

    5-11, 200 pounds

    King was last season’s Thorpe Award winner as the nation’s top defensive back. King has limited quarterbacks to a passer rating below 60 when targeting him in each of his three seasons, per PFF, which has him giving up just 79 catches on 172 targets in his career. He’s also recorded 13 interceptions and 24 pass breakups. King serves as Iowa’s primary kickoff and punt returner, as well, and ranks among Big Ten leaders in both categories this season.

    Seems like an ideal fit for jrobs system tbh. Hope he really measures out at 5'11 tho he looks like he could be kinda smaller... Would be a great pick at the late teens or if we trade back imo

    You could find games like this for everyone, but I cooled on him a bit after watching the Penn State game. He had trouble with their big receivers.

    His straight line speed and explosiveness will also be serious factors. Myself and others have noticed in a few games he got beat playing man coverage down the field but it didn't hurt him as much in college because most of those throws were under thrown - allowing him to get back into the play to stop it. He won't be so fortunate in the NFL.

    So that is a concern. If he's 5'10 and runs a 4.6, he's not going in round 1.
