I'm curious, how soon is too soon for a punter / kicker?
The Bears used a 4th rounder on a punter. My first reaction was F-, especially with a decent Edge prospect on the board (who incidentally, the team took in the 5th). But, this particular punter (the "Crocodile Punter", because he has an Aussie Football background) has been flat-out amazing over his career.
Landing a guaranteed starter who will probably be one of the best at his position in the league is worth a 4th rounder, right? Something like 60% of 4th rounders are out of the league within five years. If you can get a "game changer" on special teams with a much higher success rate, does it make sense?
