They can grab one in the sixth or seventh round of the draft.

This is my preference. You usually aren’t getting an impact player at that point. Might as well grab a punter.

Booming LEFT FOOTED punter...he's on Beane's board for sure.

Never heard of this guy. Just looked it up and it looks like he’s actually a decent place kicker too?! Sign me up. Not looking to replace Bass. But what an asset to know your covered if your kicker goes down.

Big whiff by Beane.  He’s going to have meaningful dead money next year if they release him. (About $1m, IIRC.). It’s not huge money, but every penny counts when we’re against the cap.  Probably looking at a minimum wage punter next year.  

The more I think about this, the more aggravating it gets.  What did they expect in hiring a hangtime/positional punter?  It’s windy here.  This isn’t Miami or Phoenix.  The weather this year was horrible, and we got what we deserved.  What a surprise.  

 

My guess is that Beane did due diligence by watching Haack punt in unfriendlier climes and thought he could do the job.

But, he couldn't.

I'd put a 4th rounder on this guy. He's a freak. 

If this guy is as good as people think he is, I think he'll be gone before the end of the 4th round.  Consider yourself lucky if he's still there at the end of the 3rd.  Ray Guy (& Erkslaben (sp?)) were both 1st rounders.

$700K.

 

We'll know by 4/18, as $1M from his 2022 salary guarantees on that date.

 

Wouldn't call it a big whiff myself. But could have been better.

If the offseason is decent enough, I would not mind packaging up a 3rd and 5th or whatever the breakdown would be to get back into the 2nd to take this guy

I’m pretty sure we have an extra pick in both of those rounds too - one for that pass rusher we sent to Carolina and the other for Lee smith.

If Leslie Frazier gets a HC job, we get an extra 3rd this year and next, right? You could use the extra 3rd on him just to be sure and you haven't really lost much. Or, take a risk and trade down into the 4th.

If frazier gets hired we have 10 draft picks. No way are 10 rookies making this team. They will just get raided off the PS again. Beane will package up those puppies and move up in the draft or trade for players.
