2022 NFL Draft Gameday Thread

[allblackraven]

because stout's the best punter in the draft

Can he hold on kicks?

 

[JAAM]

Does this mean that Koch is gone? Also, I hope this guy is good at holding kicks for Tucker

Has to be lol. Can’t imagine drafting a punter in the 4th and not starting him

 

[redrum52]

Uhhh, why are we drafting a Punter in the 4th round?

We're going to need one and saves us cap space. It's all good until your punter sucks

 

[Ellicottraven]

Punter at 130 not named Araiza? Harbs is getting too involved in the 4th I suppose. Keep him at bay EDC! Please.

 

[rossihunter2]

With most players, you hope they are good and stick around.

We just drafted a punter. Learn his name, this guy will likely be our punter for the next decade.

obviously it's a specialist so it's easy to just be dismissive

but add him to the group of guys we've selected in this draft who are the best at their positions

 

[rossihunter2]

Basically he's a giant slot wr.

yeah kind of - i really want to go back to the tape to see if i can work out why i was surprised by his testing - because i did not see that athleticism when i watched him

if it's simply a case that he's improved through the offseason as an athlete then sign me the hell up

 

[Ellicottraven]

Are we flubbing the 4th round guys? Or are we okay?

Yeah taking a P was not a mistake. I just wasn't familiar with who was best

 

[Edgar]

his long is 57

Yikes

 

[Ellicottraven]

A punter over that RB from Michigan. I didn't like the pick. One of these two punters would be available at the end of the 4th. I bet it was Harbs acting like a petulant child in the draft room!

Not at all IMO

 

[rossihunter2]

that i do not know
but i do know that he kicked kicks at Penn State sometimes too - and holds the record for longest field goal made at Penn State (despite being the punter lol)

 

[ravenslord]

I sure hope we have a plan at receiver !

 

[Grim]

Not sure why the hate on Stout. Punters can influence the defense in a very big way. Don’t underestimate that

 

[UPennChem]

Faalale is a great pick
Aroumor Davis another athletic guy. Bama corner. Played well as 1 year starter
Stout makes sense
Kolar I didn't know but his size and athleticism and production is obvious from a quick look

 

[RaineV1]

Pff loves Jordan stout

Yep:

Penn State phenom Jordan Stout is the "Mr. Do It All" of the 2022 NFL Draft class

A standout punter who can boom field goals and handle kickoff duty, Penn State's Jordan Stout is the "Mr. Do It All" of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Reading this I get why Harbaugh fell in love with him as a prospect. Not who I wanted here but hey, we got a starter in the 4th round.

 

[Adreme]

I think it is a matter of precision vs range and in all honestly I would choose precision. How often are you asking, or even wanting, your punter to kick it 65 yards? Typically I would think you want him accurately hitting 50-55 yard punts inside the 10/5 rather than kicking it an extra 10 yards especially as those longer punts open you up to long returns.

Is he better than Araiza outside of the hang time? With Araiza's huge leg that aspect could be developed no?

It's gonna be ok my dude

I like Joshua Williams better than McCollum
