Good teams don't waste a fifth round pick on a kicker just to hold a kicking competition during training camp. When you select a kicker that early you're saying, "that's my guy" and I'm willing to go through his ups and downs as a rookie because I believe in his upside. If a team has even the slightest bit of doubt about the kid then don't take him that early.
If you think I'm wrong that's fine. We can agree to disgree :)
Once you get past the 4th round... 5ths are lucky to make the team... and usually wont unless a specialty position or an injury if the team has any depth.. Unless the outperform expectations and some do many end up on Practice Squads.
