Packers open 2nd round by taking Washington CB Kevin King

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers finally made a pick in the NFL draft, taking Washington cornerback Kevin King with the first selection of the second round on Friday to fill a big need on defense.

The 6-foot-3 King adds size and speed to a secondary that was burned in the passing game and maligned by injuries.

The Packers traded the 29th overall pick in the first round on Thursday to Cleveland for the 33rd overall pick to take King, as well as first pick of the fourth round on Saturday, the 108th overall.
