Yeah, I don't get the whole "they have so many holes to fill and need to trade back for picks" argument. The hardest hole to fill is QB and they are guaranteed a decent shot at a franchise QB at 3.

The only way they should trade back is if they think McCarthy or Peninx is on the same tier. Even then, the Giants are posturing that they might also take a QB and then they are stuck with whoever is left.

Gotta be mostly a camp tryout, or a favor to an agent. The sum of his lower body injuries took his speed and his shoulder problems seemed to make him shy about tackling.

More info on Kevin King:
https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2024/4/8/24124576/atlanta-falcons-sign-kevin-king-green-bay-packers-news

Now, King will join some familiar faces in Atlanta. He played for Falcons defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake at the University of Washington, when Lake served as the team’s secondary coach — before climbing up the ladder to defensive coordinator and eventually head coach of the program.

The Falcons are also coached by assistant head coach Jerry Gray and secondary coach Justin Hood, who are both former Packers assistants. During King’s time in Green Bay, Gray served as the Packers’ cornerbacks coach and defensive backs coach/passing game coordinator. Hood was a defensive quality control coach in King’s final year in Green Bay.

Hopefully, King can stay healthy enough to play some meaningful snaps for Atlanta. If anyone deserves to have a happy ending to his career, after all of the injuries he’s gone through, it’s him. During his time with the Packers, King missed a total of 30 games due to injury.

One of the worst tacklers to ever play for the Packers. Give me Brad Jones over him.

Ran out of juice.
Semi-OT: My favorite moment in sports TV was at Norm's ESPYs
“And there’s Charles Woodson! How about that? What a season he had. He became the first defensive player to win the Heisman Trophy. Congratulations, Charles, that is something that no one can ever take away from you,” Macdonald said near the end of his monologue. “Unless you kill your wife and a waiter, in which case, all bets are off.”

So Pats would basically trade Mac Jones away to draft Max Jones 2.0?

Bears are the only team in NFL history to never have a QB throw 30 TD passes in a season.

IIRC, there was a modern metrics analysis of QB history across the league a few years ago, and Jay Cutler - by that metric - was the best Bear's QB of their 100+ year history. :lol:
