The draft is over – and the Green Bay Packers got some studs!
Prior to the 2017 draft, I did some analysis concerning whether Ted Thompson and the Packers were placing sufficient value on the athleticism of their draft picks. My conclusion: the Packers were slowly trending toward acquiring more athletic offensive players, but not so much on the defensive side.
So, how do the newest Packers stack up based on their athleticism?
Kevin King, Cornerback, Washington, Round 2 (33rd)
He’s a fabulous athlete: unparalleled agility, big, fast, and a leaper. His only weakness is his low bench press number, 11 reps (21st percentile).
