The Cincinnati Bengals need to start looking at the future of their secondary. Adam “Pacman” Jones is 32 years old, and while they do still have Dre Kirkpatrick and Darqueze Dennard, they should make sure they’re set at the position.

Iowa’s Desmond King very well could have been a first round pick last year had he decided to declare for the draft. Instead, he stayed another season for the Hawkeyes and still looks like one of the best defensive backs in the nation.

Although King isn’t the fastest cornerback out there, he has great awareness and fluid hips to stay with any wide receiver he’s covering. When Adam Jones is gone, the Bengals are going to want someone like King to replace him.
