August 9, 200719 yr Pick away, that leaves more real players for me to choose from...I doubt I'll take a kicker until round 16.I guarantee you I won't draft one at all.
August 9, 200719 yr I guarantee you I won't draft one at all. After the handful of guys at the top of the game, there's not much point in picking a K until late. The remaining guys are all about the same anyway.
August 9, 200719 yr I guarantee you I won't draft one at all.How does that work for you? You give up a scoring slot every game.

August 9, 200719 yr How does that work for you? You give up a scoring slot every game.I will pick extra position players and see which ones work there way into playing time and which one's do not. I will either pick up a K to keep all year or more likely grab a different one depending on who is having a good year or who has a good matchup each week. Kickers and defenses are very similar. If you don't have one of the top 2-5 of them you might as well just pick one up each week that will help you the most.
August 9, 200719 yr So instead of drafting one, you just wait and pickup whoever is available for the game? Now I understand why you drafted 16 quarterbacks in the other league.

I was really hoping to get Baltimore or New England's defense this year. I wanted to make sure I got a decent defense, but like you, I'll just take a flier on kickers and hope I can mix and match and get some decent production...

August 9, 200719 yr Kickers are more reliant on their team than their ability...find a team that struggles in the redzone and you have a gold mine because any NFL kicker can consistently make 30 yarders.

And I win my fair share.

August 9, 200719 yr You will, I do it in every league I'm in. And I win my fair share. The point drop off in top flight kickers isn't nearly as drastic as the difference in defenses...I just don't think you're losing much by playing musical chairs with your kickers. I'd rather take a chance on a position player who can produce when I need him. But, that's just me. I don't see anything wrong with wanting and drafting a good kicker...I just don't value them enough to do it this early, and by the time it rolls around to when I would draft one, the good ones are gone and there is zero point in taking one, so I wait until the very end.
