2006 SFL Pre-draft ?Top-3? Per Position

I have missed the last couple opportunities to post my thoughts on the draft class, but I was able to find a little extra time this year. (As it turns out, I still ran out of time, but only the first round is over?.so without further delay, here it is)

I have taken into account what I deem the 3 most important attributes at each position, and used them to rank my top 3 prospects and WHY I believe them to be the top prospects.
Because awareness is such an important attribute to the majority of positions, I have excluded it in any of the 3 most important attributes because I have assumed it to be attribute #1 in each circumstance, and is essentially just a given. I have also weighted non-progressible attributes a little heavier due to not being able to increase them. I would say that most, if not all GMs would agree to this, and those that do not, are just plumb crazy.

Quarterbacks
When looking for a quarterback I believe the most important attributes are 1. THP, because it is a non-progressible attribute, meeting the minimum is important when drafting a QB. 2. THA, as a progressible attribute, it can be much lower than the minimum to start, but too low, and it will take far too long to make him a game-ready QB. 3. INJ, this one might get overlooked for some other attributes, but the only argument I believe I need is this, how many hopeful/good/great seasons were lost because of a quarterback going down? In a competitive league, a starting caliber quarterback is much harder to replace than any other position.

1. Matt Leinart ? Matt Leinart seems to be the collective top prospect at the QB position. He certainly has the skill set, with the class leading 69 AWR and 91 THA. It really is hard to argue, so I won?t, but I would caution his 87 THP. It?s not currently low enough to make me stray away, but a bad skew would make it terribly hard to push it up to the 90 THP minimum I like to see. Being that he looks to be a balanced or pocket passer QB, I?d say he?s going to be a top 5 pick pretty easily, and shouldn?t need much work. I also really like his high STA and high INJ, I think he will be a solid option through and through.
2. Bruce Gradkowski ? After Leinart, it was really hard to find a QB without at least 1 hole in their game or stat line. Gradkowski to me comes the closest. His arm is good and potentially better than Leinart?s, but he is a few inches shorter, his INJ is a little bit lower, and his AWR is a lot lower?..but on the bright side, his ACC is higher!.....did I say BRIGHT side? Well, after investing 100K points, he could be a solid option. But I don?t necessarily see any other QBs going in the first round this draft.
3. Jay Cutler ? It was kind of a toss up between Cutler and Gradkowski, but Gradkowski won out for me because his arm just has a little more potential. Otherwise, my opinion can essentially be copy pasted?.let me help you?.? After Leinart, it was really hard to find a QB without at least 1 hole in their game or stat line.?
4. Honorable Mentions ? Charlie Whitehurst ? Charlie Whitehurst actually really should be the second option on this list, but his 57 INJ scares me, and I would never spend a first round pick on him because of it. His other stats really look good, his AWR and arm are both on par with Leinart, but there?s no guarantee he?ll actually play a full season. You might get away with it at another position, but when you play a position that?s literally the focal point of the other team?s full aggression, you?re much more likely to get broke. I wish you luck! (unless you?re in my division)

Running Backs
Running backs are difficult to assess. It is hard to narrow them down to just 3 attributes because they don?t have to be fast to be successful, but it helps. They also don?t have to have a high awareness or BTK to see success, and yet all of those stats are important. If I had to pick 3 attributes, I would settle on these, 1. BTK, I personally believe BTK to be important as it allows them to slip between tacklers without getting nabbed. I also realize this is a progressible attribute, but fast or quick running backs with low progressibles are a dime a dozen. 2. ACC, I believe it is more important for a good running back to have that initial burst in order to explode through the gaps then it is for them to have a high SPD. 3. SPD, I chose SPD over AGI or CAR because often times a big bruiser running back isn?t that agile, yet can have success, and if you can?t be touched, you aren?t going to fumble. It really just depends on the makeup of your running back, is he tall, short, a buck 90? Or does he bulldoze right through the linebackers? That?s why I went with BTK, ACC, and SPD; because no matter the makeup of your RB, in my opinion, I believe these attributes are universal.

1. DeAngelo Williams ? This might be the weakest running back class I?ve seen. Williams in my opinion is the only one that makes an argument for a top pick. He has potentially elite SPD, AGI, and ACC, while his CAR and BTK are low, but not at all unworkable. He is rather small at only 5?8?, and his 65 STR is low-ish, but there have definitely been worse, this draft is no exception. He also adds an extra tool to his skillset with an 88 KR. I?d say he?s probably a super solid late first round pick.
2. LenDale White ? A lot of people are touting LenDale White as the top pick for a new running back. I have to disagree. Without knowing the skew, I have a hard time believing White is worth anything in the first round, let alone a top 10 pick. To help put it into perspective, his SPD is down 6, AWR is down 18, AGI is down another 5, and ACC is down 8?.Thats rough. His benefits over Williams include 6 STR, but 71 STR for White isn?t exactly big-time, so neither is elite. 7 extra CAR and 9 extra BTK, but both are progressible. LenDale White as a first round pick is a HARD sell, but over DeAngelo White?.well, White better have a PERFECT skew. (He could make a good candidate for a move to FB, he has great blocking stats, but I don?t know that I?ve see FB go in the first round.)
3. None ? I can?t see anyone else in the class being a part of a ?Top 3? article. If they don?t deserve to be there, they shouldn?t be there by default.
4. Honorable Mention ? FB Lawrence Vickers ? Not necessarily ranking Lawrence Vickers in the top 3 here, but definitely deserves an honorable mention. His stat line is actually quite close to LenDale White?s. So if you like White, you should take a look at Vickers.

Full Backs
Fullbacks are essential to an offense, but are sometimes overlooked. They have a very limited purpose, and so they sometimes get pushed to the wayside, but they are a tremendous help in a team?s running game. A full back?s bolded attributes highlight the offensive capabilities, but that?s not entirely how I view a full back. A full back gets maybe 2 carries a game, so unless you?re playing him as your 3rd down back, his bolded attributes are misleading. I believe that a full back?s 3 most important attributes are his ACC and SPD, but third I?d say the combination of his PBK/RBK stats. 1. ACC, this time around I actually swapped SPD and ACC, because as I read my own description, I determined that going back to the blocking capabilities, a full back needs to get in front of either a QB or HB quickly, and therefore needs ACC. I also believe that ACC helps in the PBK, because it creates momentum or power in small spaces. As for the RBK, he needs to get out in front very quickly in order to make holes for the running back. 2. SPD, because a full back blocks for your running back, I have come to the conclusion that their SPD needs to be high enough so that he does not get run over by your running back. 3. PBK/RBK, because this is what I believe he does most. While most full backs rack up 30-45 carries a season, they also rack up that many pancakes. So while every carry counts to that tally, not every block is a pancake, which means he blocks far more than he carries.

1. Lawrence Vickers ? Vickers is the one and only full back in this draft worth taking a look at. He?s big and has a solid stat line, of 86 SPD, 73 STR, 86 AGI, and 84 ACC. To round it off, his progressibles of 81 CAR, 87 BTK, 52 PBK, and a 51 RBK. If he has a good skew, he could argue for the most athletic FB in the league.
2. Ahmard Hall ? Again, very weak class in regards to backs in this draft. Hall is a little on the short side, and his STR is only a 65, but he?s fairly athletic. I?d like to see his 82 AGI and ACC skew up, but if they don?t, he?s not going anywhere.
3. None ? Again, weak class?
4. Honorable Mention ? HB LenDale White ? Provided LenDale White makes it out fo the first round?.as he should?he?d make a solid pick for a FB position change. He has the size, decent blocking

Wide Receivers
Wide receivers are very straight forward, find the best combination of Height, SPD, ACC, AGI, and CTH. A lot of people prize height above all else along with JMP, and while I agree that the taller a wide receiver is, the bigger his catch radius is, and can over shadow smaller corner backs, I disagree on the JMP. I disagree because of several conversations I have read or have been a part of, where people came to the conclusion that wide receivers do not go up after the ball, rendering the JMP attribute a little meaningless. I believe the most important attributes are 1. SPD, because if a wide receiver can push past the defensive backs, he becomes an open target down field. 2. ACC, working in tandem with SPD, getting that quick jump on the defensive back is key, it can create space and ultimately make for an easier catch. 3. CTH, the higher the CTH, the less drops, the more opportunities to score, it?s as simple as that for me.

1. Cory Rodgers ? Brandon Marshall has some pretty glaring holes in his game, and I don?t like him because of those. That being said, it?s pretty hard not to rank him number 1 overall?.but I?m going to argue and do exactly that! Cory Rodgers also has a 99 SPD, but his AGI is up 3 points at 99, and his ACC is up 1 point at 97. He also has an additional 2 CTH, 8 JMP, and 10 INJ. His 48 STR is a little concerning, but not as concerning as Marshall?s 29 STR. The only thing Marshall has over Rodgers is 2 inches of height, but Rodgers already stands 6?2?, so whats the big deal? Rodgers over Marshall all day?.but I?ve heard Marshall skews well?..hmm, decisions.
2. Brandon Marshall ? Brandon Marshall definitely makes an argument for top WR, and the word is that he will go first overall this draft. I don?t like it, but I also don?t have much more argument than what I already said about Cory Rodgers. He?s 6?4?, and has a 99 SPD, hard not to like him. He?s a match-up nightmare.
3. Miles Austin ? It was fairly even between Miles Austin and Demetrius Williams for me, ultimately whoever has a better skew is going to be the better option because they?re so close. I went with Austin though because he has some added weight, STR, and KR. He is going to be a solid pick for someone, likely even as a later pick. There are many good WRs in this draft, so my bet is that they won?t go super fast, people may sit and wait on them.
4. Honorable Mention ? Demetrius Williams ? He gets the honorable mention here because he looks solid, but just slips in behind Austin for me. I don?t see many hold in his game, and so he?s pretty much on par.
5. Honorable Mention ? Todd Watkins ? Todd Watkins hasn?t generated as much talk as some of the other WRs. But I think with his 97 AGI, there?s a chance his 91 SPD and 91 ACC could skew up a little to mirror his AGI. If they meet somewhere in the middle, he could be top tier talent all around, and with better AWR.

Tight Ends
Tight ends for me a little tough. I?m not quite sure what to expect of them. They can be played as a receiver, so do you go for SPD, ACC, and CTH like a receiver? Or, since the other duties of a tight end include backfield blocking, and since most teams don?t carry more than 1 full back, they often fill in at the full back position, do you target STR and blocking capabilities? Or lastly, at their specified position of tight end, where they do a little of both, do you just try to find someone that offers good stats across the board, and sacrifice excellent stats at either end? Because of this, I don?t feel I can narrow it down to only 3 top attributes, and so I will just rank my favorite 3, and express my reasons.

1. Vernon Davis ? There really is slim pickins here as well for this draft class. Vernon Davis needs a little help to get there, but he?s within striking distance of being good. He?s also a little short, but not as short as Delanie Walker.
2. Delanie Walker ? Slim picks fer sure?.but not bad?.not much else to say, but maybe with a good skew, potentially a FB switch?
3. None ? Not much to say but re-iterate, sliiiiim pickins.

Offensive Tackles (Outside Linemen)
Offensive tackles are big and burly, but I like mine to also be mobile so they can help direct defensive ends out and around instead of being pushed backwards and collapsing on their own quarterback. For offensive tackles, I prioritize 1. STR, first and foremost, I like my entire offensive line to be 90+ STR in order to deal with any powerful defensive linemen. 2. AGI, as I said, I feel AGI is more important here. I don?t know how ACC is affected in lateral movement, but more often than not, offensive tackles aren?t moving forward, and so I feel AGI out ranks ACC. And 3. Combined PBK/RBK, I don?t think you can prioritize one over the other if you want a legitimate offensive line, he needs to be able to block for your passing game as well as for your running game.

1. DBrickshaw Ferguson ? The consensus number 1 offensive line pick. He really is complete, and ready to roll. His SPD is a little low for me at 60, but his 93 STR is great, and his athleticism is incredible. He also comes nearly game ready with 68 AWR and great blocking stats. He?ll be a top 5 pick for sure.
2. Marcus McNeil ? McNeil made a strong argument for top spot because he has a leg up on a few categories, but but ultimately STR is tops, and sitting at 88 is just a little shy from what I want to see. With a good skew, or at least some work or activity points, he?ll be just fine. His progressibles are also on par with Ferguson, and so someone will get a sweet deal OUTSIDE of the top 5, unlike Ferguson.
3. Quinn Ojinnaka ? Ojinnaka is another athletic freak, but he?s a little rougher than Ferguson and McNeil. He needs a little help at his AWR and Blocking stats, but given a little extra time, and a cheaper draft pick, Ojinnaka is probably the better deal as far as offensive tackles go this season.

Offensive Guards + Centers (Inside Linemen)
For offensive guards I have had some discussions as to what a guard actually needs in order to be effective. Continuing with the theme of STR, my top attribute is again, 1. STR. Now that we are on to the guard position, STR is needed more than ever because they have to deal with the defensive tackles instead of the typically weaker defensive ends. 2. ACC, this is where the change comes in, instead of needing AGI to direct defensive ends laterally around the outside, I believe the guards need to drive the defensive tackles back in order to prevent the pocket from collapsing. Leaving 3. PBK/RBK, for obvious reasons.

1. RG ? Tony Palmer ? I haven?t heard anything about Tony Palmer being mentioned, but I really like him. His combination of SPD, STR, AGI, and ACC is fantastic. He could use a little help on his PBK, but his RBK is great at 85. I think he could be a great option for someone in the late first or early second.
2. RG ? Davin Joseph ? Davin Joseph?s 95 STR is off the charts, I like it. He has well balanced stats, nothing else is super high, but he?s just a well rounded choice. He?s likely good enough to start now if you need him to.
3. C ? Nick Mangold ? I like just about everything about Nick Mangold, but his 57 SPD is a little low. I don?t think it?s detrimental to his draft stock, but I?d like to see it skew up a little. Luckily as a non-bolded attribute, skewing up 5 to 62 is possible. His AWR and Blocking stats are also just about game ready.

Left Defensive Ends
Left and right defensive ends require different sets of skills, and so I have separated them for the sake of discussion. Left defensive ends tend to be the faster sack-getters, and so their most important attributes in my opinion should be 1. SPD, this ultimately is what allows them to get out and around offensive tackles, so the faster the better. 2. ACC, that first step is crucial to beating offensive tackles off the line. And 3. AGI, because again, it is all about getting by that offensive tackle. TAK is very arguably important, but I say that it?s not as important than SPD, ACC, and AGI, because at the very least, if you can get by the tackle, you can rush the quarterback, and force him to rush or make a mistake. Sacks are great, tackling is great, but you can?t do either if you can?t get past the O-Line.

1. Victor Adeyanju ? Dumb as brinks, but this boy can play! His 34 AWR will never be game ready, but if you like big dumb animal type players, he is your guy. His 80 SPD hits the minimum I like to see, but his 75 STR for a Left End is really quite good, but his 89 ACC is off the charts. His 66 TAK is also a bit rough, but workable.
2. Kamerion Wimbley ? The only other Left End in this draft class that I?d recommend. His 77 SPD is low, but his 86 ACC might make up for it. His 42 AWR and 66 TAK are both rough, but could be worked up.
3. None ? Only 5 to choose from, kind of hard to pick.

Right Defensive End
For a right defensive end my priorities are different. SPD and ACC are always good, but here I would prioritize 1. STR, this side matches up with the left offensive tackles, which tends to be the stronger side of the o-line, therefore STR comes first. 2. ACC, when I think of the right side, I think run stopping. I may be wrong, but that?s my current philosophy. Good ACC helps the right defensive end get in position to make the stop. 3. TAK, again, this has to do with run-stopping, and not to do with sacks. A high TAK comes in to play, to allow a RE to wrap up those slippery running backs trying to break out. While hurrying a quarterback might be as effective as sacking the quarterback, if you can?t bring down the half back, hurrying them doesn?t do enough to stop the play.

1. Darryl Tapp ? Much more Right Ends to choose from in the class, and they?re quite a bit better than the available Left Ends. Darryl Tapp sits at the top of that list for me. His 83 SPD and 85 ACC are a nasty combo, and his 84 STR would allow him to play either side. And his 75 TAK is also right on par for a solid rookie.
2. Mario Williams ? A very close second for me, Williams might be more athletic, but depending on skews, it could go either way. Williams is just a little lower on the STR, AWR, and TAK, making him my second choice here.
3. None ? Hard time choosing a third pick for this list.

Defensive Tackles
With a similar job to the right defensive ends, only bigger, defensive tackles should prioritize 1. STR, because they need to be able to content with the high STR of the offensive linemen. 2. ACC, again in order to counter the offensive linemen, and force the collapse of the pocket. And 3. TAK, because as the running backs come through, a stout defensive line could drag anything to the ground.

1. Haloti Ngata ? He?s a big Defensive Tackle, and has the skills to fill any gap you need him too. His 93 STR and 79 ACC will make him an absolute terror on the line. His 87 TAK will also mean anything he gets his hands on isn?t going any further.
2. Kyle Williams ? Williams is a bit on the smaller side, but it shows in his 70 SPD and 73 ACC. He?ll be a headache on the defensive line, but I?m not convinced he?ll be a pro-bowler.
3. Barry Cofield ? I like Cofield, but not for a DT. He?s 303 pounds, but his 84 STR is too low in my opinion. However, at 73 SPD, 73 AGI, and 79 ACC, he could make an EXCELLENT Right End.

Linebackers
Whether you?re looking for the inside or outside position, 3 things come to mind, how fast they are, how strong they are, and how effective they are in taking an opponent down. The leads me to my top 3 attributes I look for, 1. SPD, undoubtedly SPD has to be the number one factor. Without enough SPD, a linebacker will either be ineffective in covering the slot area, or shutting down a running back. 2. ACC, it goes hand in hand with SPD, and is crucial to plug holes or for an outside linebacker to be able to shoot through gaps, getting those precious tackles and sacks you pay him for. 3. STR, this was a toss up between TAK and STR. I find them similar, but as STR probably lends to actual tackling, and TAK being progressible, unless there?s a huge discrepancy in the draft prospect?s TAK, I?ll take STR.

MLB
1. Leon Williams ? Williams (Feel like I?ve said that name quite often) has an elite combo of 85 SPD and 89 ACC. His 80 AGI is a little worrisome, but I would say it probably skews up given his SPD and ACC. His AWR is rougher than others in the class, but it?s hard to argue his athleticism is equally matched.
2. Abdul Hodge ? Abdul Hodge looks about as game ready as any other player out there. His 68 AWR is up there, and his 85 TAK doesn?t have to be touched to be starter worthy.
3. Stephen Tulloch ? Tulloch is a bit of a wild card. His 85 SPD, 80 STR, and 85 ACC are quite impressive, but his 78 AGI is troublesome. He does look close to starter ready though with his 69 AWR and 84 TAK, but I feel like other GMs will avoid him because of his height. Even though he has an adequate 242 pounds, only being 5?11? is going to be a big turn off for most.
4. Honorable Mention ? DQwell Jackson ? DQwell Jackson doesn?t possess the physical attributes that his competitors do, but he lands the Honorable Mention because of his 75 AWR and 87 TAK. He?s got the stats of a 4 year veteran, so he?s ready to plug?n?play into any defense. His 82 SPD, 80 STR, 80 AGI, and 84 ACC are nowhere near inadequate, but he comes up just a bit short by comparison. With a good skew though, he could end up being the steal of the entire draft.

OLB
1. AJ Hawk ? There are some close OLBs in this draft, but Hawk was the most complete. He has the size, plus the athleticism. His 83 SPD is good, while his 82 STR, 85 AGI, and 88 ACC will ultimately make him elite, while his 61 AWR and 82 TAK put him in the realm of a rough starter, but a starter nonetheless.
2. Jamar Williams ? Williams is a little undersized, but he?s a freak. His 87 SPD and 88 ACC will put him at the top of the league. Honestly, he?s more of a Strong Safety, but that?s not a position we can change. His 68 STR might ultimately be the end of him, but he?s worth taking a change on.
3. Thomas Howard ? Another Outside Linebacker that has the size, he also could be incredible. His 84 SPD, 85 AGI, and 86 ACC are definitely elite looking, but his 86 STR is the most intriguing to me. He?d make one hell of a Right Outside Linebacker with that strength, rivaling Defensive Ends and even some Defensive Tackles in this league.
4. Honorable Mention ? Chris Gocong ? I really like Chris Gocong, mostly because I like his size and STR. He?s not slow by any means, but with a good skew, he could look very similar to Thomas Howard.

Corner Backs
Arguably the hardest position to fill on the defensive side of the ball, everyone is looking for that ?shut down? corner. People are rarely willing to part with them for less than a first born or at least a first rounder. While a lot of people prioritize height for a corner back, so that they are less likely to be overshadowed by the plethora of tall wide outs, I?m actually okay with my corners being a little shorter. 5?10? is pushing it, that?s definitely a tall nickel, I do like to see at least 5?11?. Of course the taller the better, I just don?t prioritize it. For an extra 2-3 SPD and 2-3 ACC, I would gladly give up 2-3 inches of height. So, other attributes that I prioritize for corners are 1. SPD, obviously. Corners have to be able to keep up with the likes of receivers that commonly push 95+ SPD. 2. ACC, again, gotta keep up. Every team has at least that one receiver that has explosive SPD and ACC, and if you allow a separation, it will not be good for your cornerback. 3. CTH/TAK, this might be a copout to the ?3 most important attributes? parameters I set at the start, but because corner backs are arguably the most important defensive position, I can?t skip on important attributes. With that said, I can?t stress enough the importance of AWR either?..and it?s getting old, but also AGI and JMP, because corners have been known to go up to get the ball for an interception?.it?s no wonder it takes so much to pry a good corner away from someone.

1. Tye Hill ? Tye Hill is only 5?10?, and I know GMs love their tall CBs, but I gotta say he really does look the most complete. I?m not a big stickler for height, after all 5?11? Brian Kelly just won defensive player of the year for me. So I wouldn?t be too concerned about his height, and if I were Hill?s opponent, I would definitely be worried about his 96 SPD. His only hole that I?d be concerned about is his 48 STR, and I?ve seen worse. His 64 AWR is also one of the best in the class.
2. Marcus Maxey ? Most people will argue that Marcus Maxey should be tops for corners in the draft, and its honestly a fair argument. I would argue though that he loses a few points across the board. 1 less SPD and ACC, and 4 less CTH and TAK, and 11 less AWR for an extra 3 inches of height? Not quite worth it in my opinion. Still a great choice though, if you have the patience, he certainly looks like he?ll pay off in the long run.
3. Justin Phinisee ? Phinisee is an interesting pick here. His one glaring hole is his 38 STR, but I?d be willing to take a chance on it. His 95 SPD and 94 ACC give him the look of potentially being elite in the SFL. I?d be very interested to see how he skews, and if those numbers stay high.
4. Honorable Mention ? Johnathan Joseph ? Joseph is solid across the board. Many of his stats don?t look elite, but there are no holes. Provided he doesn?t skew down, he?d be a solid pick anywhere in this draft. With a good skew, he could be a great deal.

Safeties
Safeties are a simple position, 1. SPD. 2. ACC. 3. CTH or TAK, depending on whether they?re a free safety or strong safety. Safeties are really a Plan-C kind of position, or the full back of the defensive side of the ball. They?re not the first choice to make the play, but they hit like a tank. The way I look at a Strong Safety is that they are the first check-point between the linebackers and the cornerbacks. They hit hard, and so I prioritize TAK, while the Free Safety is the second check-point, so they are a little smaller, and act more like a defensive back instead of a tackler, and so I lean towards CTH.

1. SS ? Roman Harper ? Harper is the only Strong Safety I?d recommend in this draft class. His 87 SPD is solid for a Strong Safety, combined with a 91 ACC, he looks good. He also has a great AWR at 68 and TAK at 74. I would venture to say his 82 AGI likely skews up to look similar to his SPD and ACC, and hopefully his 76 STR stays high, because that looks intriguing.
2. FS - Anthony Smith ? Anthony Smith doesn?t make the list because I think he deserves it, but more because he has the potential to be great. His 91 SPD is solid, as is his 69 STR and 65 AWR. His 85 AGI and 88 ACC are low for a Free Safety, but they?re close to being elite with a good skew and progression. Neither his CTH or TAK is very high, so he really lacks the defining characteristic the determine whether he?d be better suited for Strong or Free Safety, but he?s good.
3. None ? Not many elite looking safeties in the class.

Kickers & Punters (The ?Rock Special?)
There are only 2 things you need to know about a kicker or punter, 1. KPW, how hard can he kick, and 2. KAC, will he miss the broad side of a barn?

Kickers
1. Stephen Gostkowski ? With only 2 kickers even in this draft, Gostkowski gets the nod here as his leg looks just about ready to kick some field goals. Both him and Prater have a 90 KPW, which isn?t amazing, but certainly adequate. Adequate seems to be the theme of this draft class.
2. None ? Prater would require some work, and not really worth it. Draft him if you must, but otherwise look to FA.

Punters
1. Sam Kock ? Kock has the strongest leg at first look. No one really has a game ready leg, but at least he has the KPW.
2. Honorable Mention ? Jon Ryan ? Honorable mention here, just because his KPW is within striking distance. Good luck!
