NFL.com: Fairbairn is the total package as a kicker. He is consistent from middle to long, has a strong leg to handle kickoffs and has never had a kick blocked thanks to his trajectory. Fairbairn should be drafted and step right into an NFL job.

NFL.com:   Martin has been one of the most consistent kickers in college football over the last two seasons and has the ability to drive the ball with power and accuracy. He's also not afraid to get into the mix if a tackle needs to be made as witnessed by his 13 special teams tackles during his time at Duke.
NFL.com: Craddock's consistency from intermediate ranges will get the attention of teams as he's put together three solid years from that range. His biggest challenge is trying to improve his kickoffs as teams usually don't like having to carry a kick­off specialist.
NFL.com: Oberkrom kicks with good technique and torque to generate impressive distance from a thin frame. While he has shown that he has enough leg to compete for a job in an NFL camp, it is his improved accuracy that might be the difference-maker.
