That wouldn't say much for our scouting department (i.e. Whoever is choosing the draft picks these days). Gonzalez seemed far and away the better kicker before the draft and picking Elliott over him was definitely a head scratcher.
at the time ......I was furious....
I just thought it was a HUGE blunder.....
for 3 reasons,
#1. we didn't have to draft any kicker in rd #5.....too early
#2. Gonzales was ranked higher .....stronger leg....
#3 salt in the wound is the Browns got Gonzales in rd #7....
so he'll be kicking 50+ yard field goals while we may struggle at it....
we shall see....
