Kicker a major need?

Rather draft a Kicker than a Punter, but thats just me, oh... and just about every other GM in NFL history.

Still haven't gotten over that 5th rd pick for Morestead.

That's what Morton Anderson did with Tony Fritch.

I remember Stanley Arnoux and Chip Vaughn were supposed to be the greatest things since sliced bread coming out of Wake Forest... lol

I hear Russel Erxlaben's (sp?) is available.

What about Doug Flutie ? Jus a thought haha

Not defending the pick but Morestead is a combo-kicker.

Our FG kicker hasn't kicked kickoffs in how long?

Morestead is a punter/place kicker. Just not very accurate on FG they say.

ok thanks bring that one up before breakfast? thanks

i remember thanking god that the draft was over early for us that year.

looking at it now Morstead was worth it. punter is a key weapon and he has worked out well. just needs to keep improving on that coffin corner kick. he is getting better but still needs work
