If anyone thinks there's a decent shot Gibbs will go before Bijan, you'd make a pretty penny on it. Gibbs is around +1000. I wouldn't put a dime on it.
I’ve seen too much wild stuff happen on draft day to say never but yeah that would be wild.

I’ll never forget some of the picks the Raiders have made lol.

LOL, that immediately makes me think of Ray Guy. A punter drafted in the first round. The more recent head scratcher was that DE Ferrell was it?

Ray Guy was an 8 time all pro, 3 time super bowl winner HOF player that is widely considered the best punter in the history of the game. While i would never advocate for drafting a punter in the 1st round i would say if you guaranteed me that the player picked (regardless of position) would become the best of all time at his respective position then that is 100% worthy of a 1st round pick.

If God came down and told me this player would be the best K or P that ever was and ever will be, I still wouldn't draft him in the first round. And if I did, I should be shot in the foot. Why? Because he'll be there in the 2nd round. Probably the 3rd round. Maybe things were different back then, I don't know.

yeah, who knows what it was like back then....i would never spend a 1st on a punter....but what if God agreed to tell you the player (assume a Kicker) that would become the best FG kicker in the history of the NFL but you had to take him at 26....what now???? I hate to say it, but i would do that in a heartbeat. Probably not for a punter though

Agreed. Or if he told everyone that he would be the best kicker that ever lived, but didn't say when you had to draft him. Either way, everyone knows. I'm not talking about that kind of situation.

The one thing we know is that there are going to be some surprises on day 1 of this draft.
