If so, should we spend a draft pick on a kicker or try to get a veteran FA? Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top

This morning I went through several years of All-Pro kicker selections. Most were older veteran kickers. Most were undrafted guys.

I do not know Fox very well. I do not know if he is one to upgrade a position given the opportunity or stick to "his guy" like Lovie.

I do think we need to upgrade the kicker though. I would not mind using a very late draft pick if there is a stud there, but otherwise, a vet or UFA should work for a kicker.
