nycdan Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 If we're talking around 6 or 7, absolutely. I would much rather land a starting Kicker than a DB, LB or OL who ends up on the practice squad and never makes the 53, which is probably the most likely outcome with most picks in those rounds. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 No, unless there is a college kciker with a history of making big, game on the line type kicks. So may college games are decided by 2+ scores that not many kickers of these guys have to make pressure kicks often. If I am drafting a kicker I need to know how he handles pressure and that can't be simulated at a pro day or workout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Kickers and punters are very iffy. Some of the guys who look pure awesome in college look bad in the pros. The dude tampa took a few years back (Gonzalez) in the 3rd round and he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. Our own punter is an example, total rocket leg and weapon in college, crap 1st year. We should have a solid kicker as it is except for the genius of mccagnan who let a kicker go over a million bucks but gave ben ijalana 8 million to sit on the bench.

Yeah, what do you think happened with Braden Mann? Why was he in the bottom 20% of punters as measured across most metrics (including ones that account for the Jets horrid offense and bad field position most of the time)?

I see stuff like that and I think 'over coaching'. As in change in mechanics, speeding up kicking motion, placement above all else instead of letting him pound it, hardly anyone returns kicks these days anyway.

Peace Frog Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Gotta be honest, I thought Lac was a perfectly fine punter and moving on from him created a hole we didn’t need to created but then needed to fill hence the need to take Mann. Now, I had no idea who Mann was but when I read all the draft reports I got excited, we somehow got the best punter in the NFL. Not so much. I’m hoping he become so. I would have preferred we draft a place kicker and stick with Lac but haven’t looked back at who that could have been. I hope in round 7 we take the best kicker in college. Can’t do Ficken again.

Lith Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 We do not have a 7 this year. We traded it to SF with Jordan Willis for a 2022 6th. Our last pick is R6P2, 185 overall. WIth the number of holes on this team, I am not in favor of taking a kicker this high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAJet815 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 If Borregales is around for our 6th rounder? Absolutely. Otherwise, pass. Need to bring in a legit K in any case, even if it’s to compete with an undrafted K again. We’ve been playing it cheap on K for too long.

section314 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Most kickers don't get drafted. They sign as UDfA's. No harm in signing one. Ficken stinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
