I know it's unusual to draft a kicker, but it seems like drafting one would enable us to get a really good one. It's painfully obvious Zuerlein is done. The Raiders did great drafting Sebastian Janokowski.
I don't even think a high-round pick would be necessary. I believe it's possible to get a good kicker in the 4th, 5th, 6th, or even 7th round. If the scouting team does a good job, maybe we can draft the next Dan Bailey or the next Sebastain Janakowski, and that's without using an early round pick.
We had the best kicker in the league back when we had Dan Bailey, and also way back in '81 when we had Rafael Septien. It's so much nicer when the game is on the line to have confidence that your kicker will come through for you if you need a game-winning field goal. Zuerlein nearly gave me a nervous breakdown.
I miss having a high quality kicker.
