I'm still not sure what logic leads you to believe we even have a hole at punter.

The Jets had just signed Morstead three weeks prior to working out Araiza and were going to be on the hook for 1.1 million in cap whether he kicked for them or not.

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. |

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

Do you think Toub / Veach signed him and let Tommy walk without having him come try out so they could evaluate his current ability? Do you think he’ll fail so spectacularly that we should use a draft pick on a punter instead of a UDFA, despite having the greatest quarterback of all time? |

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. |

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. |

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