He is really good. I absolutely loved him at FSU. But man a second rounder is really high for any kicker.
Why do people laugh at kickers? Track record of kickers taken early is honestly pretty good. Janikowski, Kaeding, even Nugent once he got out of the hellhole thats the Jets.

He dropped off a bit the last two years. He was pretty weak from 45+.
Super consistent from closer though.
At least it wasn't a punter........

Think there was a piece by Barnwell a little ago that actually showed that taking a kicker early gets you more in value than taking a tight end early. But no one ever laughs at a TE pick even though the Chargers just flushed one down the drain about an hour ago
Eh I don't remember him being any better or worse from long range than any given above average NFL kicker.
Yeah but I imagine a team drafting a kicker second round wants a better than just above average kicker.
But I am an FSU fan and am going to miss him (though we have his brother who is supposed to be basically just as good).
