    So, tell me about this King fellow...

    Knowledge of defense unlocks Desmond King's playmaking ability
    http://www.espn.com/blog/los-angeles-chargers/post/_/id/21274/knowledge-of-defense-unlocks-desmond-kings-playmaking-ability
    Desmond King has been given an opportunity to make plays during the preseason, and the rookie has taken advantage.


    I'm interested in our dbs this year looks like we may have great starters an depth...
    Go Rivers!

    He was a first-team All American in his Junior year leading the Big Ten in interceptions but his stats dropped off because they threw to the other side. The 4.6 he ran at his pro-day didn't help either. He was projected as a possible 1st rounder, and definitely a Day 2 pick after his junior year, but he dropped into the Chargers lap. A lot of people thought that the right pick in the 4th round was King, but they picked Jenkins instead.

    Check out the draft thread about him.

      I can't believe they took Jenkins in 4 ahead of King.
      Not a big Jenkins fan. Wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't here next year.

    Many of us wanted him when we were up in the 4th. We couldn't believe he was there in the 5th.
    Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

      I would have been happy with him in the 3rd. Playmaker, solid tackler, smart player. Good short area quickness but doesn't have the top end speed to be a #1 CB. I think he will be an excellent Nickel guy this year and I could see him taking over the FS spot next year. Very similar to Micah Hyde but with a bit more playmaking ability.

          We need more Kings and less Queens.
