Quote: If you knew a kicker would turn out to be a top 5 type of all around kicker for 10 or more seasons, at what spot in the draft would you be comfortable taking him?


Regardless of how they used the draft resources that landed them Roberto Aguayo, it's highly unlikely the Bucs will come close to reaching the Super Bowl this year. How Aguayo turns out over the long haul will determine whether they even came close to making a good decision in securing his draft rights in Round 2.

I would be comfortable taking a kicker 4th round or later. I don't have a problem drafting one like a lot of people, but I always see the first 3 rounds as guys who should be pushing to start and be on the field more than a few plays a game.


That being said, they have a 2nd round kicker and a 3rd round punter. They should, in theory, be set at those positions for years.
