This is interesting. I did not know that so few drafted kickers became successful with the team that drafted them. (Maybe that’s why so few are drafted, despite the importance of the position.). You would think that kickers who were great in college would almost automatically succeed in the NFL because what they do is essentially the same both places, especially for guys who kicked at major programs in front of NFL-size crowds. I would think the adjustment would be greater for guys like Bass, who kicked at smaller schools, in front of smaller crowds, presumably with less pressure.

Place kicker is the most underrated position in football. A great kicker can be the difference in 2-3 games per season—the difference between making the playoffs and being home for New Years. Other than QB, you can’t say that about many other positions. It’s no accident that very few playoff teams have below average kickers.

If Zay had put up 1000 yards receiving in OAK last year, this board would have melted down 10 times over.

You mean, like Austin Jackson, the Phins’ new franchise left tackle?

I think that is hyperbole. He wasn’t exactly playing against a bunch of stiffs in college. He played against teams stacked with NFL talent most weeks..

Out of 8 home games at new era any given year, about 3 are in bad weather. It’s an overrated factor, IMO

I always respect and appreciate local knowledge on this board, but this seems like hyperbole.

Great pick! Really good receiver

At this point, I think you’re just looking for anyone who you had a high grade on...at pretty much any position

Wouldn’t this be a good time for Beane to unload one of those extra sixths and get back into the fourth round, maybe one of Philly’s Comp picks?

He definitely makes a lot of plays...

He’s a baller, but lacks physicality needed in the NFL

And they just might

There is no limit to the idiocy...

And that’s why you don’t trade up...

Like it

Very surprised he went this early

Well, he replaces a guy we let walk...That’s the most I can say.

High motor?

As of now, we have an offense that can't score enough points to beat good teams, no matter how good our defense is, and we aren't going to replace the QB. Adding one WR is not enough.

Why the f**k would he say hello to me? I've never even met him.

In other words, before Mekhi Becton beat him in the 40.

Great. More 16-13 games coming up. Hope we get a good kicker.

Great. A Shaq Lawson clone

And I’ll vomit in a bad way if we take a defensive player
