Jake Ingram (LS)
|
Pick Analysis: The Patriots lost their long snapper when he was signed this offseason by the Broncos, so they tabbed Hawaii's Ingram to replace him. Long snappers may not be exciting, but if you don't have one, they can cost you a game. Just ask Jim Fassel, whose Giants lost to the 49ers a few years ago because of a botched snap.
Overview
High School
A former defensive end switched to long snapper during the 2005 season, head coach June Jones believed Ingram was too valuable to be a reserve on defense. NFL scouts are likely to agree with Jones' assessment of Ingram as a long-snapper. Ingram is clearly the top prospect in the country at the vital, if underappreciated, position. He's not a big bruiser who could play center in a pinch but his accuracy and velocity will be valued by teams looking for a reliable snapper. Had an arm span of 31 3/4 inches and a hand span of 9 inches at the combine.

Analysis
Positives: Excellent velocity on punt snaps -- ball consistently reaches punter in less than 0.7 seconds, can be as quick as 0.65 seconds. ... No wasted motion in snap. ... Very good accuracy. Punter rarely has to work to secure the snap. ... Works hard to maintain his lane on punt coverage.
Negatives: Not especially quick getting downfield on punts and didn't make many coverage tackles. ... Lacks great size, although there are snappers his size in the NFL. ... Inconsistent accuracy on placement snaps. Puts them high or toward holder's right shoulder at times, making it difficult to get the ball back to the spot.
