As for punters, The Athletic reported on it last year before the draft. To quote it, from 1997-2022 only 51 punters were drafted, and of the 36 players that punted in 2022 only 18 were drafted. Using a draft pick on a punter might be the dumbest use of draft capital on the planet. My 2 cents. |

Buddy, don't take this the wrong way, you're going on ignore. I can't envision useful continued dialogue about my favorite team while you're looking to pick fights, even in threads about punters. We both win. You get to take potshots at me without rebuttal for the rest of time. I get to continue a fulfilling life that is dotted with football conversation without enduring your omnipresent angst. You get the last word, staylor. Best wishes. |

Nobody else brought him in (that we know of). That's all I'm saying. Every now and then you get a weirdo unicorn case, where a useful, Super Bowl caliber player is just sitting on the streets looking to sign with a team for pennies, like Donovan Smith. (For the record, I was a doubter about him too, so I'll eat my crow on this just like everybody else does sometimes.) I just don't think we can count on Araiza to be a Donovan Smith level surprise. |

And to be clear, I'm not saying that the Jets' eval of Araiza is what's driving my skepticism. The fact that (to our knowledge) no other team brought him in says to me that this is either a Donovan Smith-level surprise, or that he's a replacement level punter. The odds suggest he's the latter. |

He didn't just fall out of the sky. He was "sitting on the streets" for a reason, mongoloid. |

I fully believe the Chiefs are going to bring in competition for him. |

Maybe I'll be surprised though. My guess is that the Chiefs bring in a punter for competition. I wouldn't bet on a draft pick myself -- you guys make it sound like I'm betting on it -- but I would make a bet on competition. |

I think, if you're going to have an elite defense, which the Chiefs may still have even after losing Sneed, having a really good punter enhances them. |

It's not some blue moon event. Your opinion at the end of your post is fair, I just personally disagree. |

I think you're going to have your socks blown off once preseason starts.

Uh, is this for real? How about shortly after never? What are we, the Raiders?
