He won't. The current projection is Top 10 and the first quarterback selected.

Tonight at 8:00 there will be a practice replay on NFL Network.

Ross Martin K  - Duke  - Projected 7th round or UDFA

 

 - just booted a 50 and 55 yarder back to back at practice  - looking pretty calm and collected with a host of scouts gathered around. 

 

If they can get him undrafted... might be an upgrade.

We need to draft the best kicker available. Our experiment with an undrafted free agent was a total failure.

I think wasting any pick higher than a 7th on a kicker is a bad idea.  At least - when you have so many holes to fill on defense. 

 

The Jags don't have the luxury of wasting a mid-round pick on a kicker. 

 

Undrafted kickers aren't an "experiment." They are commonplace.

Amazing still that we managed to be "that team" to draft a punter in the 3rd and still get one that's just average at that.

Gus getting most excited about a field goal....the universe has written this joke. It belongs to everyone now.

NYC, it was an experiment for us when we signed an undrafted kicker.

 

Yes, we have holes on defense, but they will be tackled (pun intended) in the early rounds.

Lol

Gus should get excited about a FG after watching Jason Myers last year. How long was it?

I, too, am wondering how long Duke K Ross Martin's 54-yard FG was.

Myers was actually just fine in FG percentage (13th in league I believe)

 

It was the missed extra points and the fact he missed two FGs in one game early on that was so frustrating. 

His FG kicking was pretty good after the bye. 

 

Still - I posted the bit about Martin for a reason. If they can sign him undrafted - that's good camp competition.

32 yards, maybe.

That's a good guess, but no way to know for certain.
