as in WTF was our war room thinking.....
rd 5, pick 153 they draft a smallish kicker out of Memphis....
Jake Elliott....the grade on this pick was listed as "poor" b/c he's so small he's erratic on longer kicks & has no hang time on kickoffs....if ya want a kicker in rd 5 fine.....BUT YOU PICKED THE WRONG ONE....
turns out the right one, went to the Browns at pick 224....yes pick 224 in the 7th rd....Zane Gonzalez...
how did our war room screw this kicking pick up so bad...???
I am shocked...!!!!
so in the future when we watch the browns convert 50+ yard field goals while we're forced to punt from the 35 yrd line remember this war room screw up.....they just totally wasted a 5th rd pick....
They took their guy when they wanted him, really interesting story of a soccer player recruited to football. I agree with above posts the your report is a bit obscured. Bengals drafted him due to the fact that he has better kickoff abilities. As well, the kid has 202 consecutive PAT's (not to jinx him) and was able to break all of Gostkowski's records. Including school all time scorer, surpassing not only Gostkowski but Deangelo Williams as well.
If they felt he was their guy, I'm all for giving him a chance.
