Just was reading an article about Robbie Gould and found out his contract is expiring with the Niners. Saw this kid many times this year and he would be a great replacement for Gould IMO. Definitely has a big leg and would help our special teams with his 66% touchback rate in addition to his place kicking. Niners need to think long term and this kid would be a step in the right direction.

I don't know about a rook K
Cade York was a 4th rounder who hit 75% which is below the mendoza lina.. kicker you gotta be 80% at least or your job is in jeopardy.
Our answer for a while has been get that old guy vet kicker..
Might I suggest Josh Lambo. He's 32, available and a career 87% which is stupid good. In fact if you look at all time field goal percentage he is 6th and ahead of Robbie even. This man should not be unemployed with those numbers.

I agree with you and this dude showed exactly why he may be worth a day three pick in the Shrine Bowl last night.

Robbie one of my favorite niner kickers ever, but like someone pointed out in different thread this guy will save us millions which will help us extend guys like aiyuk

Moody looked good at Michigan making some clutch kicks along with a big leg. Plus, his name, Moody..."Damn you Moody!"
Will be interesting to see if Gould is back. One of the better clutch kickers I've seen.

Gould has been solid Gold.
I feel they won't let him walk.
But if they doo Moody looks like an excellent pick-up.
Josh lambo also loos really good.
And there are many who say not to draft a kicker - look how many games Gould won for us last year.

That is my thought as well. I wouldn't draft him any earlier than the seventh round or hope to get him as an UDFA if they do acquire a kicker. Niners special teams would be much better if they had more touchbacks, too.

Drafting a kicker means 4 years of cheap contract. That's valuable. With Gould leaving and our wealth of late draft picks, this seems like the one year I'd actually want them to draft a kicker.

Hopefully with Brock and/or Trey we'll be scoring more TD's and not in a position to have to kick FG's.

Guess I was on the right track with this. Moody definitely one of the top 5 kickers and may need to draft him as opposed to wait for him as a UDFA.
