Survivor I - Shayne Graham Commentary

NOTE: this draft was completed on 7/24

Positives - One hundred nine and counting is Graham’s current tally for consecutive extra-point attempts made (81 of those as a Bengal). In addition, he has missed just 7 of 56 field-goal tries the last 2 years. Since joining the Bengals, Graham improved his field goal percentage to over 87% and ranked as the 5th best PK last season. He seems to have found his home in Cincinnati.

Negatives - Graham’s kickoffs need some work, as he had just 2 touchbacks last season. However, since there are no fantasy points attached to that stat, I wouldn’t lose sleep over it.

Draft Strategy - I put off the kicker position long enough and my 228 and 229 picks were set aside for them. I was very pleased to see Graham here as I have him ranked in my top 10. Considering the 1st kicker went in round 12, it couldn’t work out much better than this.
