ORIGINAL: David F. But if we traded away a first round pick what would we do without LaQuon Treadwell, Jeff Gladney, Garret Bradbury, Mike Hughes, Trae Waynes, Teddy Bridgewater, Anthony Barr, Sharrif Floyd, Xavier Rhodes, Cordarrelle Patterson, Matt Kalil, or Christian Ponder? Granted in that span we also got Harrison Smith and Justin Jefferson. Even so, two gems, three adequates, and nine turds of of a possible 14 choices lends me to say go ahead and waste a #1 on the best kicker in the game. Granted, as has been said already, Zimmer will just ruin him anyway so what difference does it make? Speilman hasn't drafted well. He could have and should have done much better. Xavier Rhodes was actually worth it for a while, Patterson had his moments though he didn't pan out as an everydown WR. Ponder was a reach and everyone knew it at that very moment. Bridgewater was trending up when he blew his knee. Waynes was decent especially in run support. Hughes they gave up on because of injuries. Gladney may have done well but he decided it was ok to brutalize his girlfriend. The Picks weren't studs but when they were at their best they weren't as terrible as some want to make them out to be. And I would still take a chance on the talent level of many of these guys over a Kicker. Like you said Zimmer would ruin him anyway. So until Zimmer is gone... no point at all The bottom line is, I would take a proven commodity over a prospect any day of the week. And proven commodities don't come cheap.
