didn't we say a PK was going to be drafted?

For a kicker that sounds pretty good. A 6 might be really cheap considering this guy might be on the team for 10-15 years if he turns out ok.

he is a former prep quarterback with the arm strength to air the ball out with good accuracy on fakes and trick plays...Shows good speed and urgency getting downfield to help the kickoff coverage unit

That is a good bonus. I Like his percentage on XPs too.

Ambidexterous and kikcs left footed?
FO must have had him on their radar from jumpstreet. Hope he works out and is the next Morten Andersen. Remember, in Morten's rookie year he only KO'ed and did long FG's. Same senario here. Will make the team.

I wanted us to take Coutu... but I'm not disappointed we got our guy.

Well we should have Kicker issues... and we have had enough K issues for awhile. Time to get this area of ours sealed up for years to come. Hopefully we shored it up with this pick and I can live with it.

UDFA is no garentee the kid will sign with us... he could go where ever he likes. You tag him with a pick to make sure you get first crack at him.

A left footer hmmmm that brings back memories this was a great pick this kid is gonna be awesome in the dome. If we had not drafted him and he was a UDFA who said he would have sign with us I'm sure we would've been in line with about 10 other teams trying to sign him.

Cool, another South Dakota native kicking in the NFL! Let's hope the Saints just picked the next Adam Vinatieri!
