Mitch King DT Iowa

What round is he projected to go? Maybe we can draft him for depth and eventual replacmant of Vonnie Holliday.

No idea I read on draftscout he is could be picked in rounds 2 or 3 but on Draftcountdown he is a late round pick but as a DT I don't see him as a DT in the NFL. Those are the only sites I looked at.

King is explosive with a motor, I haven't seen the rest of the North practices nor the actual game but he stood out on day 1.

Also I think I missed some days with both teams : /

If you know where I can get the practices let me know I have 4 days worth not sure of what team.

I dont think King is a 3-4 end prospect. More of a tampa two tackle to me. I dont think he is a guy that you ask to try to maintain gaps.

Really he shows some strong technique understands how to use his hands I think he can. We'll see though I haven't seen enough out of him.

The guy is a competitor no doubt, but his arms are to short for 3-4 end at about 31 inches. I dont think you would utilize him best by having him control gaps. He is more of a one gap penetrator to me or more of a situational rush DT as of right now.

He is a 4-3 DT that will hunt the QB all game much like a Warren Sapp, but no where near as good.

He is not a space eater and that's what you need to be to play on a 3-4 line.

Bill like's his DE's around 6'5-6'6 300lbs.

http://www.draftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/dt/Mitch-King.php that's every thing you don't want in a 3-4 guy.

Any time you hear people talking about this or that guy being to small to play as a 4-3 DT then he is to small to play any where on a 3-4 line as well.

Exactly. I think the shortest he drafted recently was Marcus Spears at 6-4 and Lionel Dotson at 6-4 as well.

What is King though? He's what, 6'1? 280. People are saying he's a 3-4 end - not at 6'1 he isn't. A 3-4 OLB? Don't think so. I think he could only be a 4-3 DT for someone like Indy.

In fact the only position he could play in a 4-3 would be ILB if he were to lose 25 lbs.
