I don't think Dobbs ever got a chance in SF because they play their veterans so much. What's encouraging is that SF has a good record on selecting and developing Dline talent, as does Seattle. So Dobbs must be a physical specimen for him to have made both teams.
I barely remember King from College, never really watched him but i remember some excerpts I think about him being "long" and that he may even drop in coverage some.
ALSO: "
A bit of an underachiever, King did not become a serious contributor for the Sooners until his redshirt junior year at Oklahoma. Voted an All-Big 12 second-team selection by coaches, King finished his
college career with totals of 41 games, 70 tackles, 7 for loss and 5.5 sacks"
He was drafted by Chip Kelly, who much like Pete Carroll 4 years ago is VERY familiar with College talent.
Zimmerman was the Bengals DC last year (and a damn good one) and had him on their PS
From NFL.com
"NFL COMPARISON Christian Ballard
BOTTOM LINE King has always had talent, but until his junior season, he found it difficult to first get on the field, and then to keep a starting job. His flashes in 2011 (31 tackles, four for loss, two sacks) as a versatile end/tackle swing player, however, made it very possible that 2012 is the year where he breaks out for Oklahoma – and asserts himself as a potential NFL player capable of lining up for 3-4 or 4-3 teams."
