It's going to be epic. No pressure, kid.
The expectations are gonna be through the roof for a kicker being drafted so high. I hope he's mentally prepared for the challenge.
I really don't get that mentality. Its for fans and media. As a player you need to play. I don't think a kid drafted round 7 is working any less then a 1st rounder physically or mentally. The 7th round guy is simply not as gifted physically or mentally etc.
Like if he was selected in round 5 you wouldn't care if he sucked? In the end we want players who do their jobs so for me I try not to get too hyped on how high drafted. I'm not saying I wouldn't be mad if we took him round 1, or took a guy who was literally consensus expected to be a 5th rounder and we took him in round 2 etc, but in this case I agree with Kyle.
You don't think the expectations are gonna be more demanding for someone who's drafted In the first few rounds, as apposed to someone who's drafted later on?
Yes. What I meant was I dont think Moody feels any more pressure than he otherwise would have except us fans and media will project that on to him.
In this case does it really matter if Moody is great or not? If he is then everyone is happy. If he sucks its not like there was an obvious other player imo. I mean its all a crapshoot, but the middle to later rounds especially. I would have rather had some o line guys, but I get the need. The odds are he is the starter and will have way more impact on our games than anyone else we could have drafted there.
In this case many believe Moody was going in round 4. They took him literally right before. I don't see that as over drafted much if at all. Now some will argue the best kickers are usually udfa, and I understand that as well. Its a valid argument, but you know how Kyle and John get when they zero in on a player.
