Huber's average was not impressive but he was not near the bottom of the league.  He was top 10 in punts downed inside the 20, and every punter who had more also had more punts.  His ratio of punts downed inside the 20 (29) to touchbacks (3) was almost 10 to 1.  That is excellent.  Only one other punter in the league had both more downed inside the twenty and fewer touchbacks. So while you may say he is not worth $2.5 million my question is "Where is the obvious upgrade for less money?"

Yep. And IF you do use say the 1st Round pick to try to upgrade QB...then you can't use that pick on offensive line which will make it harder for that QB to perform. Opportunity costs.
