This is an interesting selection for Minnesota because he's limited athletically, not a typical KAM pick. Productive at Penn State. Dense and muscular bad ass, but operates best in a box not chasing or running, but can flow/shed and is instinctive. He'll hit you hard. He's really a Mike LB. Special teams pick probably. Maybe they saw something in him like they saw in Ivan Pace Jr. although King is bigger and stronger. Would definitely add some bad assery to the LB core as a situational guy, but I think the odds are long he sticks but he might move a guy off the end of the roster with good special teams play.

I dont know that you waste a draft pick on a special teams player unless its a K, P, or LS or returner maybe. If you are taking a position player with a draft pick it better be a guy you think can fill a role on O or D.
I think you go for floor as a special teamer and then the upside is contributor week to week as the ceiling with a guy picked where he was in the Draft. Maybe you strike gold like with Ivan Pace Jr. I'm sure you're always panning for gold at some level being a NFL GM. King is a thumper, so fingers crossed.
