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.

51 punters is like a couple a year, isn't it? And if 18 were drafted, that does mean half the league.
It's not some blue moon event.
Your opinion at the end of your post is fair, I just personally disagree.
