    Now that king truly outperformed his entire position, does he move into the first round?

    If Seattle takes him. If not probably early second.

    He still hasn't been talked about at all as a first rounder.

    I'm guessing last half-dozen of the 1st thru the first dozen 2nd picks.

    6'3 4.4 guys with + ball skills, and a willing tackler aren't in every draft. He should get snatched by then.

    I don't recall Peters being talked about as a first round, until draft day. I think that one handed catch and his combine performance lands him first day. But i agree on Seattle.
    Who do you draft if you are picking at 15-26 and you need a corner? Jones or King? That's a tough call

    Peters was a first rounder on basically every mock draft.

    I'd still take Jones over King, but I love them both.

    Here's a post draft review of the 2015 mocks. Of the 10 final mocks listed, Peters was a first rounder in all 10 of them with an average draft slot of 21 (ranged from 11 to 27).

    He was definitely a consensus first rounder.

    So far King hasn't hit a single mock I've seen other than Rob Staton at SeahawksDraftBlog. I think he goes in the first more likely than not, but it's nowhere near the confidence I had that Peters was going in the first.

    He's getting some more recognition. Will be interesting to see where Jeremiah mocks him. I think the Seahawks pick will come down to him or Melifonwu. I can't decide who I want more:
    Since returning from the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this week, I've had several conversations with personnel executives and area scouts. It's always fascinating to find out which players are generating the most buzz as a result of their combine performance. One player who kept coming up in these conversations --Washington cornerback Kevin King.

    King has outstanding size and he ran much faster than evaluators expected. He also had an outstanding field workout, displaying excellent quickness and change-of-direction skills. Heading into the combine, I had King just outside my list of the draft's top 50 players, but he clearly established himself as a top-40 selection with his performance in Indianapolis. This draft is loaded with talented cornerbacks, but his combination of size, length, ball skills and speed could make him a late-first-round pick. -- Daniel Jeremiah

    I hope scouts really are seeing those negatives, I'd love for the Hawks to be able to grab him in the second round

    Browner was 220 pounds and ran a 4.6+. Outside of size, they don't play the same way.
