Don’t know how many of you will take the time to sit through 7:50 of long snapping drills, but this kid is freakin’ good.

Again. Wow.

My God. What the hell is wrong with me?

By the way, what is the big deal about spending a 6th on a LS? We drafted Jason Kyle in 1995 in the 4th round.

I watched the video, and I was impressed. I am not saying I know one way or another if every college long snapper can do the same or not, but I was impressed anyhow.

The sixth and seventh rounds are for taking flyers. For every Matt Hasselbeck you get late in the draft you get far more players who do not ever make the team, Schmitt has an exellent change of making the team. If we drafted a slow running back with little power it would be ok but not the best long snapper in the draft, or even the past 5 drafts from what I hear.

The question isn’t whether Schmitt will be a valuable addition or not, but, whether he should have been taken in the 6th round. Said another way, if he was taken later or as an FA, then the Hawks still get Schmitt and another equally or more valuable addition could have been picked up in the 6th. Of course, this was the problem with nearly all of the Hawks picks. It wasn’t that they were the wrong people as much as the right people at the wrong time. Dropping a few a little bit lower would have enabled the opportunity to pick up another stud or two.
