It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The vast majority of PKs go undrafted, unless you're the Oakland Raiders...or the NEP, who could have drafted Gostkowski with one of their 3(!) 6th-round picks in '06; instead, they use one of their 2 4th-round picks. The other 4th-rounder was used for: Garrett Mills. Can you say "Double Overdrafting"?
Mainly looking at a guy like Art Carmody out of Louisville.
Extremely accurate, consistent, and decent length.
Just wondering where a guy like that would project at, and if the Pats would be in the market for a kicker considering the lack of work Gostowski got near the end of the year.

The guy we should target during the second day is P Durant Brooks, UGA. Chris Hanson should stick to catching predators on Dateline.

(A) I wouldn't call 84% "extremely accurate" (Gostkowski is 82% in the regular season, and even higher in the playoffs).
(B) He's also smaller than Wes Welker, which isn't really an advantage.
You really should know what you are talking about before you post.
1) Gostkowski was 21 for 24 this year. That's 87.5%. Yeah, its only 82% if you count his rookie year. But it was his rookie year. How about you look at what Adam did his rookie year. Gostkowski is 9/10 on his career in the post-season, but only 1/2 this year.
I can't say why BB didn't use him on 4th and 13. Maybe it had something to do with the humidity in the stadium. Maybe it was something else.
2) Gostkowski is 6'1 and 212 lbs. Welker is 5'8 3/4 and 195 lbs. How is that being SMALLER?
