Also as for drafting a kicker here is an interesting article I ran across from April 2020:
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28990207/nfl-draft-conundrum-using-pick-kicker-complicated-decision
"For every Sebastian Janikowski there is Roberto Aguayo. Of the 47 kickers taken since the draft went to its current round format, 19 ended up kicking for the team that drafted them for at least three seasons. If you include recent draft picks Jason Sanders (Miami), Austin Seibert (Cleveland) and Matt Gay (Tampa Bay), the number becomes 22.
Over half the time (53.2%), the pick is a failure."
That is an interesting stat and note Austin Seibert is currently a Bengal and Matt Gay is now with the Rams. So I do wonder if even using a late round pick on a kicker is worth it. Or maybe better to look for an undrafted kicker to compete with Seibert.
