I think know he's fine. I thought King was 5'11. Revis is 5'11.

They are also saying a lot of teams love him at free safety. .He could replace Adams and we could move Geathers to OLB..He could be like Ed Reed at safety with his ball skills, and he is a great tackler. ..Can't go wrong if you pick him...

Teams can list a player at any height they want.      And most take liberty with that.     Always be skeptical of reported height.     Especially in sports like football and basketball.

 

But at Iowa's 2016 Pro Day, Desmond King was measured out at 5' 10" and a 1/4

 

Here's his profile:

Also note the wide range of reported 40 times. 

 

He's a talent guy and he may have a long career,  but I always thought the Colts preferred taller corners....

2017 NFL Draft: Is Florida’s Quincy Wilson The Answer At Cornerback?

 

First, here’s a sampling of what Campbell had to say about this particular pick. You can see his entire mock draft by clicking here:

“…Wilson would make sense because he would upgrade the Colts' pass coverage immediately.

I was just about to post this....he even had the Colts taking Tim Wlliams in the 2nd.....he's thinking Williams could fall out of the first due to off field issues. etc.

Wouldn't surprise me about Williams.  Although I like Anderson a little better.

I wouldn't be surprised if a number of these pass rushers are around in the 2nd round.  Many of them to me are 2nd round or low first round guys outside of Barnett and Garett.

What I like about Quincy is the length, great feet and awareness.  Even when he gets beat his arms are so long he still finds a way to break up the pass.  He could be a bit faster, but I don't recall Sherman being all that fast either.  Sherman is about 4.56 forty and I think Wilson is the same. I could see him doing maybe 4.49 at the combine.  Wilson is just a real big corner who I think will only get better with coaching.

He seems to play faster than that..Looks fast on film..

I like Quincy as much as I like Marshon Lattimore. Good players.

I like him in pass coverage definitely, but I've seen some games I didn't like when it came to defending the run. Quincy is too big to play the run the way he does.  Needs a good deal of improvement in run support to me.  I saw a number of missed tackles and some hesitancy in places.  I think he can improve though.

Such a good class for CBs.. I like Adoree too. And Sidney jones looks pretty damn good.

I like this Chidobe Awuzie kid too.  This kid is a battler, he's not afraid to come up and lay a lick, he's quick, smart amongst other things.  He pops on film to me, he ain't afraid of a damn thing.    Wouldn't mind having him on the team.

I think Awuzie goes after all the guys we just named. I definitely wouldn't mind having him either.

You know Tennessee is gonna use one of their 1st round picks at CB.. they'll take one of the big names

    • Kind of funny actually considering he was the forum whipping boy all thru preseason and camp
    • It's just weird not seeing linebackers reading runs and going forward to drill rb's in a hole.   Leonard's turnover creating peanut punches and interceptions helped mask how weak our D's were. Ballard is a failure at producing a contender type D.  And there are more than enough points on the graph as proof.  
    • It is crazy. The fanbase thinks they were going to avoid the whole team struggling. But the Colts D is even worse this year and young Ant Rich doesn't even play D lol. If this keeps up, Gus is gonna get on the bus outta town. Speakin of "Stop it," I'd like to see this D stop somethin, stop anything. Stop the run, stop the pass, and do not let da Bears, with their rookie QB and trash oline, look like a real offense, or I'll panic for real. The D needs to get this turned around so that "My Bad" Bullhead Ballard will still be here to extend some more contracts. Ol' Jimmy I. is patient, but I bet he doesn't like looking like a fool.     NFL defense rankings 2024   30. Indianapolis Colts (28): Worst NFL defenses 2024 Let’s put things into perspective with this Indianapolis Colts defense. Malik Willis, who entered Sunday with a career 48.7 QB rating, completed 85.7 percent of his 14 pass attempts for 1 touchdown and 126.8 passing yards. That means through two weeks, this Colts defense has allowed a 115-plus QB rating in consecutive games. As for the Colts run defense, this group surrendered over 200 rushing yards for the second consecutive week. It’s inexplicable why Gus Bradley was retained and even more baffling why this unit wasn’t adequately addressed by GM Chris Ballard this offseason. Ultimately, it will be the Colts’ undoing.   https://sportsnaut.com/nfl-defense-rankings/
    • Ha. Yep.    If ya ain't got one though, ya have to keep hittin' the slots until you win. 
    • Yeah, like Bo Nix??     So much over reaching for QBs.
