Anything is possible I suppose, but a punter in the first round is highly, highly doubtful. Wing is great at what he does, but an NFL team can pick up a punter in the mid to late rounds (or free agency) that will be effective enough to not warrant a first round pick for a punter.
I know if I was a fan of an NFL team that selected a punter in the first round, regardless how effective he was, I'd be seriously pissed.
The NFL has evolved so much into specialized positions (ie..two pass catching TE in the lineup for example) that teams smartly draft also to combat that. I think most, if not all NFL teams would consider a punter in the first round a wasted pick.
