How would you feel if we took a kicker in round 6 or 7?

I was upset after week 1.

I was pissed too. He did not have a good year. Same can be said for every panther not named norwell, Davis, Olsen, and star. Not going to waive 49 players either.

yeah but if your asking me to spend a 5th on a kicker who can actually kick it I'm all for it. its better than drafting someone like zack friggin sanchez.

Youre asking the wrong person about using a draft pick on a special teamer. I'm mainly against it, takes a rare player to make a exception. I believe most of the long snappers, kickers and punters where undrafted, not 100% sure.

I do agree if there is a true upgrade in the 5th, take him. I just member the mare/Medlock era and while gano struggled it can be worse.

What's the chance of a 6th round pick really becoming a quality starter? 10% maybe?

What's the chance of a kicker drafted in the 6th round of becoming a quality starter?  probably more than 10%?

Total 4 year cap cost of a 6th round pick, around $2.5m.

One year cap cost of Gano, $4m.

Last year you could have drafted the 2nd kicker in the 6th round or the 20-27th WR.

I go back and forth with Gano. Just from my eye test he seems to be above average overall but below upper echelon. 

If he would make a few more of those pressure kicks I don't think many people would have much heartburn with him. 

I don't follow kickers much but a good question would be, do kickers normally get better? Not sure.

I don't think a draft pick is quite worth it this year. I'd like to see Gano get one more year to prove where he's at and either stick by him or move along.
