  1. He's certainly a "pretty" thrower, it's a beautiful delivery, crisp, accurate etc. but best of all time has to cover a lot more than that AND for a long time.

    Best all time means pretty throws and good decisions for 8-10+, not a single season. If we are going by Theismann's logic, Matt Cassel would be too after the '08 Pats season.

    (200th post, yay!)

  2. That's true and when you consider you typically are only going after guys to provide depth in those later rounds, it is also possible to find a diamond in the rough ala an Antoine Bethea or go one further a Tom Brady. Yeah I know these guys don't come around very often but using the pick on a kicker takes away even the possibility.

    Don't get me wrong, from a football standpoint there really is no argument for not drafting a kicker...especially considering that hopefully you only have to do it twice every 10+ years (once for punter and once for kicker obviously lol) but just from my personal standpoint I'd rather take the chance on finding that diamond and look for a P or K in FA.

    Don't forget, if we used a 7th round pick on a K then we wouldn't be able to take Derek Moye in the 7th. :D lol

    Well Moye will NEVER fall that far anyway lol but I would like to take the guy whos skills at college transfer carbon copy to pros who is already proven. And if we do, we would have a serious weapon on FGs for the next decade or so.

  3. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised at all if every player on the 'bama defense winds up as a starter in the NFL. Some will only be serviceable, solid starters but others could very well turn into pro bowlers. I said in a thread somewhere we merely needed to decide which position we need most and draft 'bama's starter at that position. lol

    Alabama and Iowa always seem to produce NFL studs on a consistent basis.

  4. I know that we need them and it is important to have a solid kicking game...but it still kinda feels like wasting a draft pick. I wonder if there are any decent kickers who will be free agents after this year. I'll have to check that out.

    Really? I have never thought drafting a kicker to be wasting a pick. Sure, they come a dime a dozen but the good ones are drafted in rounds 6-7
