Kicker K
College FG% + range + Pro Day testing. Kickers defy projection — read these grades loosely.
Likeliest career, by the outcome model.
How many kickers land in each career bucket as the model's single most likely finish. This is a different question from the board grades below — a prospect can be a Day 3 grade and still have “starter” as his likeliest outcome. The tails (elite, bust) are where the model separates; the middle two buckets sit close to a coin flip.
The board.
All 3 kickers with a draftable grade on Draftanomics's 2017 board, tier by tier.
The top shelf is bare: no kicker in the 2017 class earns a blue-chip grade.
Nobody here. The class simply skips the first-round tier at kicker.
Jake Elliott and Harrison Butker make up the Day 2 tier, projected No. 96 and No. 102 overall. The drop behind Butker is the story — Zane Gonzalez does not come off the board for another 35 picks.
Only Zane Gonzalez carries a Day 3 grade at kicker — the Arizona St. product projects No. 137 overall.
