Survivor I - Lawrence Tynes Commentary

NOTE: this draft was completed on 7/24

Positives - The Chiefs are among the highest scoring offenses in the NFL the last three years, and Tynes will get his points kicking for them. Last year he was 17 of 23 on Field Goals, including 12 of 13 from under 40 yards. He added another 58 PATs. Tynes has a strong leg and secured his job with good range on kickoffs.

Negatives - While very accurate from under 40 yards, Tynes was only 5 of 10 from over 40 yards. His leg strength seemed to wane as the year went on, and Tynes will need to address those issues to keep his job in the future. Because the Chiefs score so many TDs, their FG attempts are limited.

Draft Strategy - It’s getting late in the draft, and I’m still in need of my backup kicker and backup defense. Looking at the kickers available, one stands out. Tynes will have tons of scoring opportunities, as KC finds themselves in the Red Zone often.
