We DRAFTED a kicker that only made 77% of his collegiate field goals?!

No  Is we worth a 5th round pick? Probably not Could we have waited? Yes of course. We need a kicker I get it but there was some pretty good players on the board at positions that could have helped us and we passed for a questionable Kicker. I dont blame anyone for being mad about this pick. To be honest I think we were wreck less with today's picks. After Lawson we left a lot of talent on the board for some head scratchers.

He's not just friends with Gostkowski.  He beat Gostkowski's all time scoring record at the University of Memphis.  He's going to be fine.  Here' some more stats:
