Team is cautious with hamstrings as we’ve seen with Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams so keep that in mind with King.

Stand by. Switching to rant mode.
Okay. Is there any franchise who has spent so much draft capital on db’s and gotten so little? I mean, we can go back to the Randy Moss draft of Antuan Edwards, Fred Vinson and Mike McKenzie. Then think of our high hopes for Randall and Rollins. Now we have to ask if we’ll ever get our money’s worth out of King or Josh Jones. My inner angry old fart wants to place blame! (Or find an adequate scapegoat).
This is what happens to teams when you draft mainly for need in the top rounds of the draft. Ron Wolf was on record saying he was drafting with the thought he needed CBs to match up with Randy Moss. TT did this the last few years as well.
In 2005, they took a guy they didn't need (Rodgers obviously).
In 2011, they took a WR (Cobb) even though they already had Nelson, Jennings, and Jones.
In 2014, they took a WR (D. Adams) even though they ended up having two Pro Bowl WRs that year (Jordy and Cobb).
