What could've been . . .

Finally, Justin King is off the board. The St. Louis Rams took King with the second pick of the fourth round (101 overall). Wonder if he's kicking himself for not coming back for his senior season. King has all the tools and athleticism to be a good corner in the NFL, but he was inconsistent last season. He's shown he can cover elite wide receivers, during his sophomore year he shut down Ohio State's Ted Ginn and Tennessee's Robert Meacham, both were first round picks in last year's draft. But during his junior season, he struggled against Indiana's James Hardy and Michigan State's Devin Thomas. If he can get some good coaching and work on his technique, he could develop into a fine corner, but it will take some time.
