Draft Scout Snapshot: A closer look at the Broncos' picks: Round 5/161 -- Tavarres King, WR, 6-0, 189, Georgia...The Broncos have little depth at wide receiver behind the starting troika of Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker and Eric Decker, so they had to emerge from the draft with at least one receiver. In King, the Broncos add a vertical threat who got enough separation to average 22.6 yards per reception, but who also needs work to refine his route-running and pass-catching skills in traffic. King will have the chance to be the primary backup at the outside spots to Decker and Thomas. - The Sports Xchange

03/28/13 - 2013 Georgia Pro Day: Representatives from all 32 NFL teams gathered at Georgia’s pro day on Thursday for a workout held outdoors on FieldTurf in approximately 40-degree temperatures.

01/21/13 - 2013 Senior Bowl: King stands out among "strong" South receivers...King, who measured in at 6-0, 192 pounds during the Senior Bowl weigh-in Monday morning, showed the stop-start-go elusiveness to consistently make defenders miss and enough straight-line speed to beat them over the top. His fluidity during drills early in practice was also impressive, as he showed the foot quickness and balance to chop his feet and turn quickly. He was also the best at getting off press coverage, something that many of the South receivers struggled to do.
King was among a handful of South receivers who consistently got open and made big plays for the team's three quarterbacks -- Arkansas' Tyler Wilson, Florida State's EJ Manuel and Oklahoma's Landry Jones -- when they could get them the ball.
As if often the case in all-star games, the quarterbacks and receivers struggled, at times, to find any kind of rhythm. Some of this was due to good pressure supplied by the South's defensive linemen. BYU's Ezekial Ansah and Clemson's Malliciah Goodman each forced the quarterbacks to step up into the pocket on multiple occasions, ruining any sense of timing in the passing game. Ansah also knocked down at least one pass and forced Manuel to significantly adjust his throwing motion on another. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
01/21/13 - 2013 Senior Bowl: King stands out among "strong" South receivers...For one day at least, Georgia wideout Tavarres King played up to his surname, repeatedly making big plays to stand out among a talented group of receivers for the South Team during Monday's initial Senior Bowl practice. King, ranked by NFLDraftScout.com as a fifth round prospect and given third day grades from scouts from three different teams I spoke to following practice, demonstrated great lateral agility, acceleration and generally reliable hands. He did allow one pass to slip through his hands -- but that was conveniently snatched up by Louisiana Tech's Quinton Patton, who also enjoyed an impressive first day.
Talent evaluators weren't the only ones impressed. Detroit Lions wide receiver coach Tim Lappano, who led the receiver drills, pushed his new pupils but was impressed by their effort and talent afterwards. "They [South's receivers] are a strong group," Lappano said. "We worked them hard, very hard. We wanted to run them through a fast tempo. They showed great effort and are an athletic bunch with size." - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
