He kicked a 60 yard FG in the spring of last year. His MO is he's got a strong leg. Ranked by WalterFootball as 2nd best kicker - although they said they wouldn't be surprised if he were the first taken, on account of his STRONG leg and touchback potential. Sounds like a good pick, yet again. (Doubt they would've taken him had other kickers not come off the board already - must be they were prioritizing getting a replacement in for Lindell, as was evidenced by last year's attempt)

Agreed, if he wins the kicking job he will likely have more impact than anybody else they could have picked in round 6 (yes, there are some great 6th round picks like Tom Brady, but by and large the odds of finding someone who makes your team for even a few years are pretty long).

Good, a top K here will have way more value then some likely cut or ST player we would have most likely grabbed. I know players can be found this late, but its rare. We need a Kicker IMO as Lindell doesnt have the leg anymore and the kid we took last year did not impress at all
