1) Louie Sakoda, Utah
Not only is Louie Sakoda a very talented kicker, he has a chance to also become a punter on the NFL level. If he can successfully handle both kicking duties on the professional level, he’d be a very valuable player and could warrant a relatively high draft pick.
2) Graham Gano, Florida St.
A nice thing about Graham Gano is that he’s already faced a lot of pressure in his football career. At Florida St., virtually every kick was under some sort of pressure. He held up well in college and showed NFL potential.
3) Sam Swank, Wake …read more

1. Nick Folk – Strong legged kicker on a great offensive team.
2. Stephen Gostkowski – Pats should become more kicker friendly.
3. Shayne Graham – Fantastic kicker on an explosive team.
4. Nate Kaeding – Kaeding should bounce back with big year.
5. Mason Crosby – Very talented leg on a good enough squad.
6. Rob Bironas – Has a very high ceiling with a timid offense.

9. Phil Dawson – Underrated kicker for 2008.
10. Josh Brown – New team but same consistent leg.

Josh Scobee, Jacksonville Jaguars
After spending much of 2007 out injured, many fantasy football owners will ignore Scobee in their 2008 draft preparations. That would be a mistake. He’s kicking for a team with a solid offense and when he returned late in the season, he made 12-of-13 field goal attempts.
Nate Kaeding, San Diego Chargers
Nate Kaeding had a really quiet fantasy season last year. But going forward, Kaeding is a very talented kicker who should be around the league for a long time. …read more
