Moody is more accurate with a bigger leg.
Moody missed a FG and or XP in every playoff game last yr.
My point is the juice ain't worth the squeeze when drafting a kicker in the top 100. Not when you can find good kickers off the streets or as UDFAs
Yes but I also saw him drill multiple 50+ in the biggest game of the year under pressure. He showed he had upside and was proving his worth.
Carlson also missed an Xp in the post season last year. Moody was better last year, and obviously better this year.
While I'm not arguing you can't find a good kicker later, and I think last year's draft was mostly awful, I do think Moody is the worth the price if he keeps kicking like he was earlier this season.
