Rd 6, Pick 180 (1): Punter Matt Araiza, San Diego State

All jokes aside, a good punter can be quite valuable for a team. We saw what a bad punter means to a team having Haack.  While we don’t want to punt, nice to cannon that ball downfield. Sneaky good pickup. Not only that, he’s a late round pick that absolutely be a starter and make the roster.  Good value here.

lol feel bad for our other punter. he took a pay cut to stay on the roster 

 

Someone has to teach him how to hold.

 

I'm sure he's been working on holding since January, will be interesting to see how he does there.

 

Personally I'd have preferred Stout, but he wouldn't have been a sexy of a pick as Araiza is.

Left foot, Strong leg. I think he also holds. 

Has not been a holder in college btw.  Will have to be tought that.  Seems to be an all around athlete so fingers crossed.

But I think I remember him holding at his Proday. I don’t know. Really never scout punters or kickers lol

This is my concern.  This is a huge issue.  He doesn’t have to hold.  But someone else has to.  And it’s unusual not to have the punter do it.

So our offense has a rare three and out.. very rare.. Punt God comes onto the field booms one 50 plus yards and pins the opposing team back. Von Miller immediately rips someone’shead off and strip sacks the Qb.. Buffalo Turnover, punch it in for a Td.

 

This draft today has totally turned upside down from the start of the day and I’m totally excited with the picks!

I don't get the obsession with punters holding kicks. Qbs spin the ball off shotgun snaps constantly. Just train Case Keenum.
