Panthers WR Marvin McNutt

[PantherFanOne]

_{Here is some pre draft insight about King.}

 

_{AnalysisStrengths}

_{Possesses the quickness off the line that helps him shake off press and fly by cornerbacks playing off-coverage. As a vertical threat, he can track the ball over either shoulder and grab the ball with his hands near his head. He also has elusiveness after the catch to free himself after a hitch route. The work on his upper body has paid off, as he can play through physical corners to get inside position when needed. Extremely fluid route runner, plays with tremendous balance and body control.}

 

_Weaknesses

_{Doesn't have ideal bulk. Dropped passes have been an issue for King during his career, and he doesn’t always find the ball in the air or go up to high-point passes downfield. Though he is quick and elusive, he’ll out-juke himself trying to make defenders miss in the open field. While is capable of making a block outside on quick screens, King also doesn’t offer consistent physicality.}

_{Bottom Line}

_{King lacks tremendous size, and his hands have also been an issue at times, allowing potential big plays to slip through his fingers. However, he's a very fluid player, with impressive quickness and balance. He should be a mid-round selection.}

The issue with Lafell (to me) is not his play right now---he is what he is.  The issue will be our willingness to pay him on  second contract.   He may be a good blocker, but he is not a guard--we want him to catch the ball consistently.
