Connor Hughes - Possible kicker next year?

[kmd24]

Just saw this kid in the Music City Bowl. Four year starter, plays for Al Groh at Virginia.

Possible 2nd day pick, or will BP stick to the firesale guys?

One strike against him is that he doesn't handle kickoffs. Don't know if that means he isn't capable, but UVA uses another guy (Kurt Smith) who had 36 touchbacks in 60 kickoffs heading into the bowl game.

We allready have a limited amount of 2nd day picks as it is, phili having our 4th and KC having our 6th. I'd be suprised if we spent a pick on a kicker
