Long snappers in the Draft

So Danny Aiken has had a rather mediocre year, I don't normally judge players years on bad plays but when you are long snapper you generally don't do much else except long snap the ball so those inconsistencies in play really stand out. Obviously the Patriots wern't thrilled with Aiken's play or they would not have brought in Tyler Ott in the offseason to compete with him. Who are some of the options that the Patriots that the Patriots can bring in this coming offseason? The only Long snapper I know of is Joe Cardona out of Navy as he was invited to the senior bowl, but he has to serve in the Navy for at least two years before he can play in the NFL. Are there any other notable Long snappers coming into the draft out there?

I would love to help, but I wouldn't know where or how to effectively scout a long snapper without watching every game that prospect has played. Sorry, by I'm not going to be able to help out on this thread.

Ah, but can you rank them?

NFL Draft Scout.com has them in the same order as is listed by NFL Draft Countdown.

Ridiculous!

The New England Patriots have bigger issues than a long snapper.

All year I've watched Allen have to reach for both punts and field goals. I don't
think we'll re-sign Aiken.

There is a long snapper from nc state that had started 51 consecutive games for them. We should be able to sign him as a free agent.

Yeash, I wonder how many concussions he has long snapped through

Does anyone know who the long snapper is on this terrible snap from the shrine game?

If the Pats don't want to pay for Ryan Allen, I say sign the punter as an UDFA, too.
