Jake Moody-K-Michigan 3rd Round 2023 Draft

Of the top 10 kickers in NFL history, percentage-wise, just two were drafted: Harrison Butker and Stephen Gostkowski. Justin Tucker, Josh Lambo, Wil Lutz? All undrafted. Adam Vinatieri and Matt Prater, who aren't in the top 10 but are considered some of the league's best, went undrafted, too.

Even successful kickers who do get picked don't always stick with those teams, including two of the NFL's best in Kansas City's Butker (Carolina) and Philadelphia's Jake Elliott (Cincinnati).

I'm no expert on kickers but it seems like they take a few years to come into there own.
I think drafting a kicker for a playoff team is very risky not to mention I'm sure we will way overdraft one.

Don't think I've ever heard that, maybe it just takes a few years until they are noticed. They don't have to learn a new playbook, or anything for that matter, and there's no need to adjust to the speed of the game. What would they need a couple years for?

Moody's good, but so is Christopher Dunn of NC St. Niners talked to him at the Combine. He was 28 of 29, a 97% success rate. He was 2 for 2 over 50 yds, longest 53. He was 8 of 9 in the 40 yd range. He was a 5th yr senior. Knowing Shanahan prefers vets as his K, we'll see. Lynch has 10 picks with potentially 3 more coming, I read. Should be plenty to draft a rookie.

Isaac Punts who is my top authority on kickers at the moment had Dunn as the top kicker. I think Moody was #2. as a vet I like Josh Lambo he's top 10 all time in FG percentage and just freely available.

I don't know if having a Moody kicker is a good thing. You want an emotionally stable kicker. Someone see if Ken Stabler has some kicker grandkid.
