58. Kevin King, CB Washington

King has been on the opposite trajectory as Ramczyk, shooting up draft boards after an epic combine performance.  According to 3sigmaathlete.com King graded out as the best athlete at the combine, scoring a 142.8 SPARQ, which ranks in the Top 0.7 percent of NFL corners.

In the coming weeks, the Seahawks might have to snag King with its first pick, as King continues to rocket up the draft boards. In terms of fit, King appears that he was built in a laboratory to become a Legion of Boom defensive back.

King stands at 6’3″ with the requisite 32-inch arms to play outside opposite Richard Sherman for Seattle. King is uniquely gifted with exceptional agility for his size. His 20 yard shuttle time of 3.89 seconds and 6.56 s 3 cone drill both rank in the 96th percentile, considered elite for any cornerback, let alone a 6’3″, 200-lb cornerback.

King tackles well for a corner and even spent time at free safety in 2015. While comparing him to Richard Sherman is a tough ask, (those are big shoes to fill) it is not hard to see why some have started to make that comp. The combination of size and ball skills is similar to Sherman, but King is the better athlete–hence the higher draft day price than the fifth-rounder Sherm.
