in the draft as a whole im 8/10 positive about it....love the Long,Avery,Greco,Shuening picks.... like the Burton pick...i was down on the King pick,one saving grace being that he`s only 20 so by the time hes at the age of most prospects 22/23 when they come out, then he should be NFL ready if he`s ever gonna be..he could be a steal,but i would have gone Linebacker or Safety with that pick methinks!

I think we're getting off topic, but anyways, I think the King pick was great value for the pick. He was projected as a first rounder next year had he stayed, so you're probably right about him developing into the position. Luckily we have enough depth where he won't be forced into that.
Back to Avery, I recently watch Todd McShay's evaluations of team drafts, and he gave the rams the third position out of four in the nfc west, mostly because of the Avery pick, then proceeded to point out the "fact" that he wasn't as fast as everyone thinks, providing his evidence of Avery's combine times. He completely ignored or was just ignorant of the fact that Avery was running those injured. I scoffed. Scoffed I tell you.
