the post draft report I read totally ripped this pick.....
said Elliot's "smallish" even for kickers....
erratic on long kicks....b/c of a weak leg....
not good on kick offs....b/c of the weak leg...
but we'll see....
if nothing else the Bengals made a huge mistake by picking Elliot in rd #5.....when the #1 ranked kicker went to the Browns in rd #7......
but maybe someone has some....."alternative facts".....
Agreed. It reminded me of Al Davis' ignorance of game theory in his drafting strategy...why use a 5th round pick on a guy you like, if potentially every other team is waiting until the 7th round (the Panthers did draft a kicker with the 15th pick in the 7th)? If you've ever participate din a single fantasy football league, you know that drafting a kicker early is not a good value, and likewise the Bengals should have been looking for another "Marvin Jones or George Iloka-style" diamond in the rough in the 5th round.
