    Was watching highlights of this kid from 2016 in High School. he was hitting 50 yarders then as well. Get him with a full time kicking/ST coach, now he has this as his career and I think you see his consistency improve.

    Given that a late seventh round pick is essentially a lottery ticket I don’t mind using it on a ST ace like this. If he is your punter for the next decade it’s a great selection.

    Got to get over to the Bill Nunn Draft Room more often. Started in mid-March.

    Might be our most significant rookie if he's as good as advertised. They're playing 1992 small ball this season, where punts are not considered bad plays.

    I wasn't referencing any player specifically (but yes, Janikowski was a PK), just a tongue in cheek shot at the Raiders.

    I've got nothing against the Steelers' pick.

    Can’t remember last time we punted well. No Primanti endorsement,
    But he’ll do some damage there.

    Danny Smith just popped another 20 Bazooka's in his mouth over this signing.

    I'm confused. He was the Ray Guy Award Winner, but looking at his draft profile on Steelers Depot ... it sound like he shanks punts from time to time and struggles with accuracy? So which is it, how good is he? Sounds like he is good at flipping fields if our offense stalls out though...

    He doesn't have many highlights on YouTube, but it seems like he has a big leg, but a slow wind-up before he actually punts the ball. He'll need to get faster or he is going to get blocked in the NFL.

    If he makes the team I guess he will need a nickname. Big Snack is already taken ;)

    maybe a switch to LB and when lamar jackson starts to scramble he can use that big leg to the ball or balls. play over. :smiley1::cool:

    Not surprising that some here are complaining about taking a punter late in the 7th round. :facepalm:

    The biggest knock was...He can punt it a mile, but the trajectory is low, not much hang time...This COULD be a problem

    Gotcha. But, I understand why you referenced the Raiders. They take more shots in the dark than anyone. JaMarcus Russell may have been the worst.

    Anyway, I don't really understand the trepidation from some members about using a 7th round pick on what likely will be a weapon for our special teams. Do you really want a 7th round offensive tackle protecting Ben's blind side? Covering a slot receiver? It's a good pick. Berry has played to the best of his abilities. I have no problem with his effort, work ethic or want to. But, he's as good as he's going to get and this team needs better.

    If he becomes our Punter for the next 8-10 years I'm happy with it.

    No argument here. Part of the cheekiness in referencing the Raiders' strategy was for those that felt a seventh too rich for a punter.

    I only need 1 season of watching this guy punt in black and yellow and the pick is worth it
