One of the more under-discussed storylines heading into the 2023 NFL draft is whether or not the Tennessee Titans finally invest a draft pick in a kicker.
Over the last few years, top kickers like Cade York (fourth round) and Evan McPherson (fifth round) have started to creep their way into the middle rounds of the draft.
It’s hard to imagine any of this year’s kickers doing the same, but you never know when it comes to these things.
As of right now, the only kicker on the Titans’ roster is the unproven Caleb Shudak. Therefore, if there was ever a time to identify your kicker of the present and future, this may be an ideal opportunity to do so.
Tennessee could ultimately choose to spend a late-round pick on one, or they could just wait to add another leg as an undrafted free agent. Whichever route they choose, they have to get some sort of competition going at kicker.
This article is going to discuss the top-five kicker prospects based on the consensus rankings (143 big boards).
Michigan’s Jake Moody in particular has been a popular choice among Titans fans, so let’s get to know him, as well as some of the other top kickers, just a little bit better.
