I believe that at least 5-6 games a year come down to FG's.

So why not put as much emphasis on a kicker as we do on other positions.

I know they're not as glamorous, but in some games more important

I believe a great place kicker coming out of college should be a first round pick if the team has the need.

We have much bigger needs than just a kicker. I agree we need one but not in the first round. We aren't the Raiduhs.

I couldn't agree more, and I've been saying this for years. How the NFL undervalues kickers is mind boggling with how many games come down to them.

In fairness to the cowboys, we did address it in the draft, and I couldn't have been happier about it, when we drafted Folk. It just appears that he went mental this year for whatever reason.

We will, and need to draft another kicker this year.

Our biggest need last nite, in our biggest game was our kicker.

He makes a 24 yard FG we coast to the win. Instead of one of our guys here peeing his pants.:D
