5th looked too early but I was pretty excited about him. He’s a legitimate weapon and now teams have to defend us harder because of him.

More wins. That’s important.

I think it can't go understated how smart of a pick he was in the 5th round. I appreciate Duke and the team didn't wait to see if a kicker was available as UDFA, but rather targeted their guy and made the pick. As Huber inches closer to his career ending, I'd also be okay if the Bengals use a 5th to 7th round pick on drafting a replacement punter. The special teams game shouldn't be overlooked.
