[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 814735"] There's no question he'll be kept on his cheap rookie contract. The question is his projected role. If you project him as a perimeter corner starter, that's one thing. If you decide not to count on that, then that decision ripples through FA and the draft. Do you sign Breeland or some other corner to a decent FA deal or spend yet another upper round pick to get to a projected nickel combo of Alexander-Jackson-?. Do you move Williams back to corner instead of leaving him at safety or releasing him? Pettine seemed to favor a lot of dime coverages when all hands were on deck. If you're not going to count on King that 4th. corner or dime safety might take a higher priority than one might think. And if you apply more capital to D-Backfield, that's capital not applied somewhere else that can shuffle priorities. Safeties do a lot more tackling than perimenter corners and if there was ever a perimenter corner who doesn't look like a safety regardless of injuries, this is it. The guy looks like a fish out of water when playing the slot and pretty much anything else other than man-perimeter. I don't think the Packers have a lot of choice other than to roll the dice on King being a starter. To assume one more hole in the D-backfield leaves one more thing among the several already that need to be addressed. [/QUOTE]
