Mesko is a four-year starter that had his best season punting the football in 2009. He averaged 44.5 yards in 52 attempts with 0 blocked. Mesko is excellent at dropping the ball inside the twenty yard line to pin opponents deep into their own territory. Mesko has good size and athleticism for the position with above average leg strength. Mesko has been effective in tough weather conditions and shows poise under pressure. He has been solid with his hang time and distance but isn’t an elite punter in this years draft. Mesko is a solid prospect that will likely get his named called late in the draft.
They take a punter...one of the most criticized spots for them for years- the hell with his placement in the draft, they needed a punter.
Great pick! The best punter of the draft. Remember we will only hear Pats late in 6th round so he could have been picked in between.

150 -- Patriots -- P Zoltan Mesko
There's special teams player teams player of the draft off the board. Looks like the Patriots got sick of inconsistent punting over the last decade, or so, and used a fifth-round pick on heavy-legged punter. I like the pick a lot. It will help the Patriots immensely.
I don't think so. And neither does Mayock.

He is considered an outstanding directional punter, something Bill Belichick values highly.
