I get what your saying but why make the odds worse by drafting a kicker in the 5th, and not even the highest ranked kicker at that. Just because our 5th round picks havent panned out lately is a horrible example. Everyone wanted competition, and most would have been happy with a 7th round/UDFA kicker. People are upset because someone was so confident in this kid that they drafted him where they did and over the consensus #1 kicker. Right now the competition we are getting out of a 5th round pick is equal to that of a UDFA or walk on. He's fighting for a job against a guy who has been on 5 teams in 5 years. I hope the guy gets his shit together and starts making some kicks.
