Mel thinks the Cowboys should draft a kicker in the 4th round

Chad Ryland, K, Maryland​

Ryland is the clear top kicker in this draft. He has a big-time leg -- he hit nine field goals from at least 50 yards in his college career at Eastern Michigan and Maryland.

Projection: I have him going in Round 4. And how about this -- I'll give you a team fit too. I think the Cowboys should take him in that range.

Anybody up for a kicker to start off day 3? And one not named Jake Moody?

 

[Carson]

No thanks on Ryland. Dude is the next Brett Maher … but it’s literally what Dallas likes a kicker.

Massive leg from 50+, inconsistent and usually kicks around 80-85% on the season.

“Ryland has the leg to make 50-plus-yard field goals and handle kickoffs, but it is nothing special by NFL standards.” This just screams wasted 4th round pick

Ryland might go sooner… I say we use a 3rd on him.

You laugh, but Bones Fassel was there at his pro day scouting him.

I'm hoping between him and Moody, we can get one in the fifth. Don't want to use a fourth on kicker.

Moody is the top kicker, Ryland should be late in the draft.
