i actually wanted to draft him. he was on my wish list. i heard talk about the hang time of his punts and loved it. last year there were a lot of people whining about him, even after the draft because there was some other punter that people thought was better because he kicked further.

 

that hang time was what was needed to get out ST coverage guys in position to help cut back on the returns that were burning us. not only has he helped with that, he's gotten really good at placement and putting some back spin on it. the guy is as good a punter as anyone in the league.

 

and yeah...he's just a kicker, but it's helped out in huge ways.

Nortman should get most improved on the team.

He went from avg to elite in one season.

Some of those 12 yard shanks last year had people calling for his head, myself included. So happy that we don't run the team!

Nortman is a baller. Great job Brad! May you pin the opposition within the 5 yard line many times in the playoffs!

I think it was one of Rivera's friend's son or something that went in the last round (or udfa) and might not be in the league anymore...

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
