The good part is he's gifted with things you can't teach and lacks in things that are, at least in theory, "fixable". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Just now, gupps said: lack of size and strength is a concern. This seems like the easiest thing for a rookie to fix, just about any college player bulks up some over their first 2-3 pro seasons. Unless the dude is just naturally undersized or has to start right away ( ).. otherwise this won't matter much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HavePityPlease Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Welp, I wanted them to jam the trenches with new blood and they've done so, so I'm feeling more optimistic. We could use at least one more OL prospect, but now back to needs - get a fuggin kicker here somewhere, I really don't want to go into another season with "this castoff guy looks good, must have had a bad day, he'll be good", then he single-handedly chokes away multiple games.

I_C_Deadpeople Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 30+ years later, Mike Brown is finally convinced that you need to always draft Lineman. Somewhere, ML is giggling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HavePityPlease Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 YES! Called it beotches! Edit: Now that I've calmed down, we wait for them to inevitably cut this guy in favour of Siebert (and for this kid's new team to win the SB?) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gupps Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 Overview McPherson handled both field goal and kickoff duties at Florida with a leg that generates decent power and quick lift on each kick. He strikes the ball with good consistency and an end-over-end delivery that leads to quality accuracy and placement. While he struggled more than usual beyond 40 yards in 2020, it should be correctable. McPherson has a good chance of being a Day 3 selection and finding work in the NFL. Strengths Connected on 85 percent of his career field goals. Made 94.5 percent from inside 40 yards during career. Kicks with short, controlled follow through. Uses drive kick when he needs extra on it. Consistent trajectory and end-over-end balls. Adequate hang-time on kickoffs. Weaknesses Smaller than average build. Saw field goal percentage drop to 77 percent in 2020. Missed on his last three field goal tries of 50 yards or more. Kicked off out of bounds twice in 2020.
