Full Version: Our New Kicker?

This years Lou Groza award winner Zane Gonzalez the K from Arizona State.

FBS record holder for career FGs made with 96.

7/9 on 50+ yard FGs this year with a long of 59. 23/25 overall on FGs this year. 39/40 on extra points.

I'm not saying do something stupid like the Bucs did last year and trade up into the 2nd for a K. But we should have a surplus of picks. Snatching up a kicker and filling a huge need wouldn't bother from round 5 and on.

His FG percentage went down in each of his first 3 years. Bottoming out with a 76.5% Nugentesque number last year. But maybe he figured something out because he shot up to 92% this year.
Yeah, I'm impressed with him. I could see the team passing on him because his college career was in a different climate though.
I will be flat out pissed if the Bengals don't draft a legit kicker this year.

It's really our biggest need - we have the worst kicker in the NFL this year.
Hopefully Bullock does well for us and we don't have to draft a kicker.

I'm still drafting one this year with the comp picks.

Would not be against this in the mid rounds, just don't want to spend an early pick on a kicker...
