I will admit that this is 2022 draft related at best, but the Kicker for Wake Forest Nick Sciba has had about the most tremendous College Kicking Career in recent memory.

some notable accomplishments:

3rd most accurate kicker in the history of the NCAA

record holder for the most consecutive kicks made in NCAA history (34)

I don’t know about y’all, but I’d be willing to go as high as a 4th round pick to finally have a solid and reliable kicker again. This is also assuming he enters the draft since he is currently a Junior at Wake.

I don't know about a 4th considering how few picks we have next season. BUT, I'd love to have a solid kicker.

BTW, Gonzalez' kick offs were spot on Sunday.

We traded our forth rounder but I do see the value

Edit:  my bad looks like that was a 3rd for CJ

He doesn’t have range over 50 and can’t get kickoffs to the end zone. He’s probably not an NFL kicker unless he can increase his range pretty significantly unfortunately. At minimum you would need a punter who can double as kickoff specialist and you’d have to be ok with never kicking over 50 yard FGs

      No doubt.  I was at the game watching it and it looked like a fly ball to the infield.  It got in the air and just hung up.  XL tracked it like a shortstop.

      You need to go outside and get some fresh air.

      Sorry, I don't get the "mental" thing at all. If his football IQ was as low as you say it is, then he wouldn't be out there blocking as well as he is.  It is quite possible that he's been pressing due to not really being in the flow of the game because Bryce doesn't look for him on the regular. His strength, at the moment, seems to be as a mismatch in the slot on crossers and slants in my opinion,and for whatever reason (maybe height) Bryce is more likely going to chuck it to the sidelines. So, in a sense, maybe Legette and Bryce aren't a good pairing, and that gives the appearance that Legette is not all there. Lord knows that Bryce doesn't seem to be able to hit receivers in stride so they can maximize YAC. But anyway...all that being said, I thought that X would be more than just a possession type of guy. So we'll see where it goes from here. I'm not like some, who appear not to see the value in a guy who can kill you like that, and kill you just as well as guys that do their best work on the outside, but, X is going to have to be able to consistently hands-catch on the run and separate better at the top of the route if he really wants to unlock his potential as an all-around receiver. If Bryce could consistently and accurately hit receivers, especially in seams on the slants and crossers, it would open up Legette and the offense. Just my opinion, but I think he causes all the receivers to press to varying degrees, and causes the coaches to call plays that have built-in limitations, but I could be wrong about that.
