I noticed that too. When the pick came up, Coughlin was saying Joe D spoke up and said "get him," or something to that effect.

We're talking about a half dozen picks before Mr. Irrelevant was selected. I really can't argue the pick. 


Wait a sec...

"Of all the graduating Punters"????

Just how many legitimate Punters do you think there were? He was already the fourth Punter drafted. 

He averaged 42.7 yards per punt his senior year (his best year). That would put him 33rd among the NFL punters last season, so he's basically a guy who wouldn't get one of the 32 punting jobs. 

True, at that point in the draft the odds of getting a useful player are very low, but if you draft (say) a fast DB there's always a chance such a player could make the team. Unless JoeD saw something in his form that could be corrected, it was a wasted pick.

What was his net? DeCamillis is very much a directional guy. I think he's the ST coach who said that the best punt is one that goes 40 yards without a return. If Cooke can bang 'em high and keep them floating long enough for the gunners to get down there and force a fair catch, who cares if it's only going 42.7 yards?
