The Rams defense has quietly been very reliable this season, ranking 10th in overall defense at the moment.

Cornerbacks Trumaine Johnson and Lamarcus Joyner have been the top two this season, with E.J. Gaines manning the slot position.

While they have been productive, Joyner is a better option in the slot, and the overall corner depth can use an extra skill set.

So in the fifth round, the Rams take the “other” corner from the Huskies. King is a big corner, similar to Johnson at 6’3 and 195 pounds. That size, with his length, and underrated ball skills is what makes King a prospect that is starting to catch the attention of many NFL scouts.

King is a little raw at this point, and will need a little time to fully grasp his potential. With veterans such as Johnson, Joyner, and Gaines in place, King will have a little time to develop and ultimately give the Rams two big corners on the boundary.
