Happy Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ex-raiders-seahawks-kicker-sebastian-janikowski-retiring-192114750--nfl.html "The Raiders took Janikowski with the 17th overall pick in the 2000 draft out of Florida State. Nicknamed ''Seabass,'' Janikowski converted 80.4% of his field goal attempts during his career, including a career long of 63 yards during the 2011 season, the only time he was selected for the Pro Bowl. The kick at the time matched the NFL record for longest field goal made." Al Davis got this one right. I remember everyone laughing at the Raiders when Janikowski was their first pick in the 2000 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 That’s just Al Davis being Al Davis. In 1973 the. Raiders selected Ray Guy in the first round, pick number 23. He ended up being the first pure punter in the Pro Football HOF. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the all time leading scorer as a kicker doesn’t hold much weight to me. Isn’t the Packers kicker their all time leading scorer as well? He will most certainly be the last kicker every selected in the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing to keep in mind is the 2000 Raiders were a good team that went 12-4 and lost to the Ravens, who ended up winning the SB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 (edited) Look at the Bills list.... https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/buffalo-bills/leaders/career-scoring-points 5 of the top 8 all time point leaders are kickers. 9 hours ago, buffalobillswin said: Wait people think he was worth the first round pick? Shirley you can't be that stupid. In a way, it's not too bad of a pick. You get a player that is consistent with their kicks, and being a kicker they never really get too much action, they can last in the league for years as long as the refs keep saying "It's Good!"

Big Gun Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I think him and Brady were the only 2 left from the 2000 draft class. Time for Brady to go too. And the Bills drafted Leif Olve Dolonen Larsen 5 picks before Brady was selected. Lol One is the loneliest number.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 And he will most likely go to the hall of fame along with another FG kicker Morten Andersen. AND Steve Tasker still can't get in.. Sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
