My argument against that is the one presented to me by Oak, I believe. You bet the house on the player who can immediately come in and give you three or four more wins in that first season. I have to say that if that description doesn't fall squarely on the toe of a kicker, nothing does. We always remember that last second FG that was either made or missed, but it goes much farther than that. What about the FG that was missed early on in the game that would've made the difference between needing seven or three in the final minutes? It happens a lot. With the exception of our O Line, we are in really good shape with the players returning from injuries and our FA acquisitions. Especially on defense. The one glaring hole, that missing premier player is our place kicker. Why would we want someone mediocre to fill that slot? It'd be like drafting another shoulder tackler.
