Eagles, Bears, Chiefs, Panthers or Ravens are all good landing spots for him.King will get drafted. He is a great football player. People are picking German WRs.
His best situation might be Arizona. He can play QB in a system built around a similar player and provide versatility.
Not gonna lie. The only reason I'm in this thread is to try to cherrypick info and opinions that would push him to return next year and beat Baga.
How does King's arm strength compare to Murray's?OU said Murray measured at 5'9 7/8 in socks so basically 5'10" and he went #1 overall. UM has him at 5'10" but that seems iffy. Murray went #1 overall so based on stature alone I think King warrants a late first with his upside and the way the NFL is now. We'll see...

Great point on the accuracy. What do Murray and Wilson have in common? A perfect deep ball.The height thing wouldn’t be an issue if he was more accurate. When you talk about Russell Wilson and Kyler Murray, you’re talking about two of the most accurate throwers in college history. Wilson broke the QBR record while playing at Wisconsin. Also Wilson was drafted when short QBs were still really taboo. He would not have lasted until the third round today. King’s accuracy on deep passes isn’t great. Or at least it’s not good enough for NFL teams to ignore his height. He could work his way up the board. It’s still early and he’s going to have chances to impress. A big problem is that the 2021 QB class is pretty loaded. There are guys who are already locks to go early in the first no matter what happens. I mean even if he totally kills it the rest of the season, hits all the buttons at the combine and somehow measures 5’11”, he still has no chance at all of going ahead of Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields. Right now, second round is his ceiling. He’s probably a third or fourth rounder if they picked today. He’s dynamic enough for a team that already has a quarterback to use a third rounder on.
I'm no scout but I also have my doubts. His arm is good, not great, in terms of making up for height. And he's pretty accurate but misses on way too many deep balls so far. He starts connecting on those his chances are better, but to me he doesn't seem like an elite nfl prospect. Plenty good to dominate here and be a Heisman contender but a high draft pick is another deal completely.Barry Jackson reported yesterday he spoke to (I think two) NFL scouts that indicated he's way too short and would probably have trouble even getting drafted.
Take that FWIW.
Had a post about his height earlier. Want to see some more games before I come to a judgement but like what I've seen so far. At the very least I think he can make a career out of being a slot and return man, but if he keeps this up he could get a legitimate shot at QB. Obviously the biggest thing against him is being under 5'9", he'll need a coach/organization that's more spread basedHas @apfenny3 weighed in?
All it takes is one GM or Coach to believe in his skills.Holy smokes
There are a ton of orange and green glasses on
Dude has played three games
Dude has missed a handful of Easy passes each game
Dude is NOT Kyler Murray
he may(and I hope like ****) be a Very good to great college QB but he does
Not have any of the measurable most nfl franchises look for.
hope he plays out his eligibility here
And then makes the best of whatever opp he has but NFL is a diff animal and guys like K Murray and Russ are exceptions not the rule
Sure in theoryAll it takes is one GM or Coach to believe in his skills.
Tebow was a first round pick for goodness sake.
