HawkeyeJet Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'm not sure why people would hate it. Any pick sucks if it doesn't pan out. What is more valuable to a football team, a good punter or a backup at a non specialists position? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I’m not getting where there’s been any criticism for the pick And why should there be. Position of need, and a guy compared to Leckler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmello Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001112469/article/2020-nfl-draft-lance-zierleins-three-favorite-picks-by-round 2020 NFL Draft: Lance Zierlein's three favorite picks by round Round 6 Braden Mann, P, Texas A&M Drafted: No. 191 overall, New York Jets Yeah, I get it -- you don't want to read about a punter being on a favorite picks list, but too bad. Punters are people, too. The last time I checked, the Jets were first in total punts and only 12th in net average. Punting is a thing for the Jets, so why not get a punter with a monster leg who can flip the field, and who set an NCAA record in 2018 with an average of 51.0 yards per punt? Mann is a quality special teams weapon as a late Day 3 selection. Isaiah Hodgins, WR, Oregon State Drafted: No. 207 overall, Buffalo Bills In the sixth round, teams are just hoping they can either find a skilled player for roster depth or a player with developmental potential who they can bring along at a slower pace. Hodgins isn't fast and he isn't strong, but he does have good short-area quickness for a big receiver and gets plus marks for his pass-catching talent. He doesn't have the traits to be considered an "upside" prospect, but he does have the skill level to potentially become a value pick. Prince Tega-Wanogho, T, Auburn Drafted: No. 210 overall, Philadelphia Eagles While Tega has only been a tackle at Auburn, some offensive line coaches see his bend and hand quickness as predictive traits that could move him inside to guard if needed. The tape can be a little uneven, but it's nowhere near sixth-round tape. He dropped in the draft due to medical concerns surrounding a knee injury he played with last season. He's a latecomer to the sport who is highly athletic and still learning the game. His upside is extremely high for a sixth-round selection.
