At some point this will become true, but is most definitely wrong for his rookie contract. It will be a minimum of 3 years until he could possibly make the money that we all believe he deserves.
What did we miss on Desmond King?

Your comment was funny, but wrong on so many levels.
Apparently on the field production is not taken into account

This really doesn't make sense about Des.

This. Teams have labeled him as soft.

I don't know about that it seems like all the "damage" was done at the Senior bowl. As a junior he wouldn't have been there so there wasn't an opportunity to get "exposed".

These guys seem rather optimistic.

From the CBS Sport's Gurus (scroll down) :
104
C.J. Beathard | QB, Iowa Height: 6-2 Weight: 219 I would have taken Nathan Peterman here, but they need a developmental guy so I get it.

Jaleel Johnson | DT, Iowa Height: 6-3 Weight: 316 Good value here in the 4th round. Helps to replace Sharrif Floyd.

146
George Kittle | TE, Iowa Height: 6-4 Weight: 247 A good tight end prospect with great athleticism, running 4.52 40 time, though was underutilized in Iowa´s run-first scheme. Will be a better pro than production suggests.

Desmond King | FS, Iowa Height: 5-10 Weight: 201 A very instinctual DB with tremendous ball skills and production with 31 passes defended and 11 interceptions. Tremendous value this late. Considered a possible first rounder after a strong 2015.
A+

I'd believe you if you would have said a San Diego Chargers fan. Either that or you have some years on you.
I think by now that it is clear that several NFL teams were scared away from drafting Des King earlier because of questions about his character that arose after his suspension for the first quarter of a 2015 game against Nebraska. With all the focus on player development and discipline after Joe Mixon and Dalvin Cook and Ray Rice, it just seems like fewer teams are ready to take a chance on a kid who was suspended for an entire fifteen minutes of a B1G game two years ago that nobody remembers nor cares to think about even......

Only way ISU gets talked about today, other than "this guy had a career day against Iowa State".
