[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1034475, member: 10086"] I think what we have here is nearly nothing to lose. At #255 overall, King has the league expectation of a glorified first choice of Undrafted prospects. The cost is so minimal that you take a stab at a player who has either played at Top 50 level for a series of games or for a season. You’ll notice that concept carried over to a Undrafted selection at WR also. Here’s another look. 2-Time High School Team Captain.
