3.12 Arizona Outlaws — PK Blair Walsh

In the real world: The Vikings selected Walsh in Round 6, then released 37-year-old kicker Ryan Longwell after six years of service to the team, ostensibly in a salary-cutting move. Even though Walsh only made 21 of 35 field goal attempts last season, I also look at what he did in 2009 and 2010, when he was 40-for-45—including 6-for-7 from 50 yards or more, establishing himself as one of college football's best kickers.
In the TUFF world: It so happens the Outlaws had Longwell, so they had to take a kicker to reinforce depth at that position. And it doubles as a "homer pick" (as Jeff Zamzow is from Minnesota).
