Punter in the draft????

[RxJock1120]

Anyone think that we might use a day two pick on a punter. Daniel Sepulveda from Baylor is one of the best to come out in a while. Any thoughts????

The punter you mentioned is projected as a 4th or 5th round pick.

I think the Pats have too many other needs like linebacker, cornerback,

and safety to draft him this high. Maybe, if he drops to the 6th round?

We have 5 punters on the roster. Thats plenty.

You can never have enough punters. :singing:

I'd stick my hand in boiling oil if we took a punter before #247.

Before or after you're chewing on your hat?

I'm sure he's already chewing on his hat to soften it up for draft day, that and to expend some pre-draft anxiety.

Sepulveda was a walk on Linebacker before converting to Punter. He's also left-footed. I say we'll pick him.

When was the last time Brad Seeley went to a college to work out a Punter?

When was the last time that the Patriots invited a Punter in for a team visit?

Sepulveda is that good. But I suspect he will go a lot higher than many think. Remember Ray Guy went in the first round. Todd Sauerbrun went in the second round. Sepulveda has a rocket leg, he hold the NCAA all tiem record fro number of punts over 50 yards; punts left footed so the ball is more difficult to field; and was a LB as well, so he could add a little punt coverage ability as well.

Sepulveda is rated comparable to Guy and Sauerbrun ...

So you are saying he will go 1st day? Doubtful.
I'm thinking a 4th or 5th rounder would be about right where he goes.

he would go 1st day if mike sherman was the general manager of an nfl team :bricks:

Regardless of what round, before I took this kid, I would have a team of meidcal professionals examine and re-examine that knee he tore up. One legged punter don't last long in the NFL.

I refuse to believe any punter taken in the fourth round is that much of an upgrade over one in the sixth, seventh, or UDFA. There's a lot of well-regarded punters this year, one from Maryland....one from Syracuse....one from UMass....one from Auburn....one from Michigan St. There's really no way of telling who's going to be the best.

 

[NEPatriot]

I've raised the same question. I think this is a position where we could upgrade thru the draft. That said, I'm in the minority on this one.
