The 2017 season was a disappointing year for the Green Bay Packers fanbase. Not only did the team miss the playoffs for the first time in eight seasons, but it also passed up on drafting the promising pass rusher TJ Watt out of the University of Wisconsin.
Instead, the Packers opted to trade back and ended up drafting corner Kevin King out of the University of Washington with the 33rd pick. Almost immediately, the decision sparked a debate that would span multiple years.
In Green Bay’s defense, the secondary had been abysmal the year before, and King possessed an ideal blend of size and speed.
