Or does it still feel too good to quit?

We still could have signed him after the draft. He wasn't gonna get drafted.

I agree with O-Line on this. If the goal is to replace Nortman with a cheap punter, there are always a ton of out-of-work punters to choose from. You don't need to waste a draft pick on one. Chances are the Jags could have signed him as an undrafted free agent. Instead, take a flier on a fast CB or LB. Jacobs was one, but you have a better chance with two longshots.

And Cooke is statistically terrible with a 42.7 best season average. As I pointed out in another thread, that would be 33rd in the NFL last year. For those of you who don't know, there are only 32 teams.

Maybe he has a great hang time. Maybe there's a flaw in his delivery that can be fixed. And just maybe one of those things would have been mentioned to justify the pick to the fans if either was the case.

This also brings up an interesting question. With all other things (hang time, consistency) being equal, what is the salary cap value per additional yard of punting average? Is saving $2M but losing 3 yards per punt a good value? Or looking at it from the other side, is an additional three yards per punt worth giving up $2M in salary cap space?
