Packers open 2nd round by taking Washington CB Kevin King

But the rest of the Packers’ roster was inconsistent with the stat Highsmith saw on the draft-room TV. That’s fast! Speaking of fast, the Packers’ second selection (Round 2, overall 61) Josh Jones, safety from North Carolina State, ran a 4.41 40-yard dash at the combine.

The big difference, however, is that N.C. State’s Jones might be a better all-around athlete.

Former Redskins linebacker London Fletcher told fans he expected more “for as many hits as I put on your running backs and receivers”. So did one of his Huskies teammate, safety Budda Baker. He has strong-safety dimensions but also experience covering down in the slot and playing as a linebacker in some passing situations. “Now that I’m healed up and 100 percent, I know I’m going to surprise a lot of people because they’ve never really seen anything besides my junior year, which I thought was decent, and I thought my senior year was going to be a lot better”.

King, Baker and Jones join Marcus Peters and Desmond Trufant as UW defensive backs recently selected in the National Football League draft.

“He’s a very good tackler in space and in the box”, said Gutekunst.

Jacksonville traded up one spot to select Alabama junior offensive tackle Cam Robinson 34th, followed by the Seattle Seahawks making Michigan State defensive tackle Malik McDowell their initial pick in this draft.

“I think it was excellent”, director of football operations Elliot Wolf said.

Green Bay used the No. 212 overall pick on South Florida’s Kofi Amichia (6-4, 297), who started 26 games over the last two years at left tackle for the Bulls. Irrelevant, but Kelly was a player who could have been selected in the first three rounds if not for all his problems. “I did it all – checkdowns, screens, down-the-field routes, corners, vertical routes, a little bit of everything”.

Although his best football is still ahead of him in a ideal situation to start what should be a long, and successful NFL career.

After a 1,300-yard, 11-TD season in 2014, an ankle injury cost him most of 2015 before he came back for a big finish in 2016, earning first-team All-Conference USA and third-team All-America honors. He’ll need to prove he can be more physical and aggressive as a tackler, as well as show that his length is an asset and not a liability against quicker, shiftier receivers. “It’s something that really stood out, and obviously the (game) video was good”. In all, King finished his career with the Huskies with 164 total tackles, including 9.5 for loss; six interceptions; 22 passes defensed; and two forced fumbles. Like Burnett and Clinton-Dix before him. Thank you to the Packers organization for taking a chance on me a year ago!

The plan was for Michael to be more of a bruiser, but he didn’t make the impact the Packers had hoped for.

“You’ve got to accept things as a man, and I just was waiting my turn”, Cook said. “Every player has something to work on”. He’s a proven veteran in this game. When LSU quarterbacks could get the football to him, Dupre had flashes of production as he led the Tigers the last two seasons with a total of 84 receptions for almost 1,300 yards and nine touchdowns.

“I watched that. That was a”.
