Punter Drew Kaser is selected with the Chargers first 6th Round pick

The Chargers decided to go with another potential instant starter with their first of two scheduled 6th round selections by choosing Punter Drew Kaser out of Texas A&M.  While a Punter this high may be a surprise to some, CBSSports' Dane Brugler actually listed Kaser as a 5th-6th round selection and the best punter in the draft. With an average of 46.2 yards per punt over his career, and 33% of his punts in 2015 being inside the 20-yard line it looks like he could supplant Scifres as the starter in year one.

Kaser is known for having a very strong leg, but is also known for outkicking his coverage too often. Broke Shane Lechler's single-season school record for yards per punt (47.5) as well as net career average (46.2). I wouldn't be surprised to see him immediately replace Scifres, allowing San Diego to save over $3.5 million against the cap for the 2016 season.
