Where would you draft a K that could do this??

SBK · 04-22-2009, 08:14 PM

Talking about Medlock got me thinking about a discussion I once had. Let's say there's a K available who will kick touchbacks 65% of the time, and will hit 75% accuracy from 65 yards.

Where does a prospect like that rate for you?

Wow. That means if you stick him at YOUR ~45, hes gonna peg it 75% of the time?

Yes. What round should this guy get drafted in?

Nightfyre · 04-22-2009, 08:25 PM

Well, the raiders would take him first overall.

Here's the real question, would he be worth the 1st pick?

How accurate is he from 50 in?

It would be higher than 75%, as K's get more accurate the closer they are right?

And for me, that guy is worth the top pick in the draft. You'd add 9 or more points a game that you wouldn't have had with a standard NFL kicker. (contract not withstanding)

I rate how he does when the game's on the line.

If there's no significant change, he's a 1st rounder.

Hard to say.

Did he play for a big school? What's his exact record with games on the line?

etc etc

Nope. No kicker, ever, is will be worth a 1st round pick unless he can Punt it 70 everytime as well.

I would only draft this guy in the early 3rd. Its easy to find kickers these days not in the draft.
