49. The Packers could easily go running back here as well. Toledo’s Kareem Hunt is a great talent and still available. However, with running backs like Jeremy McNichols, Corey Clement, and Wayne Gallman also available, the Packers could wait one more round before they address the position. LSU’s Kendell Beckwith is also still available and is an intimidating inside linebacker who would shore up a position lacking depth on defense. However, overall, cornerback is the more pressing need, and there are only a few starting-quality corners left on the board. I took King over guys like Cam Sutton and Chidobe Awuzie because I believe he possesses more upside at the position. King has good straight-line speed and athleticism on his 6-foor-3, 196-pound frame. He also shows good ball skills with two interceptions and 15 pass defensed in 2016, and he has the strength to press at the line. King would give the Packers another tall cornerback other than LaDarius Gunter to match up against some of the elite receivers in the NFL.. Cornerback. Washington. Packers - Kevin King. 82. player
