So you saying field position is not important?

No I'm saying burning 2 picks in a 4 pick draft for the least important position on the field is not a good idea.

Two can play that game... So are you saying our Punter is more important than Jonathan Vilma?

you vastly underestimate the importance of a good punter

just because they see the field less than other players does not make them less important

if anything it makes their job that much harder

drew gets 30 to 40 opportunities a game to do his job correctly

moorstead and hartley only get a handful of chances

especially for a defense that doesnt stop anybody and feeds off turnovers, making the other team drive the entire field is a huge deal

first 3 or 4 rounds arent chock full of centers or guards either but they are crucial to the success of teams

punters are very important to how a game turns out.....they dont make tackles or score points most of the time but in a game of inches, a guy who can punt the ball 50 yards in the air with a hangtime of 5 seconds is a stud and helps teams win
