Moody was great in College, hopefully this isn't a issue
well.....
I will post my uninformed layman's take on this.... after watching Moody's highlight reel..... I was not super impressed. I am old, I am use to only generational kickers getting taken in the draft.
College kickers are not really that great....of the ok college kickers, Moody was probably one of the better ones.
Moody does not have unlimited leg power, and to steal a stat from his scouting profile on NFL.com..
.Moody had made 66.6 percent of kicks from 40-plus yards in last two seasons.
Moody was not a sniper in college.... maybe he can get coached up....maybe he was the best option available to the 49ers...I don't know....but we have a a gap between what we have and what us fans want. As fans we want to never worry about the kicking game. We want automatic or as close as is humanly possible...in that regard Moody is going to be a work in progress.
