This right out of LINDY'S.I don't follow NCAA football, so can somebody explain to me why he was taken with a 2nd round pick?!
One of the most accurate kickers in NCAA history. Dependable, loves to try pressure kicks.
With a 2nd round pick, though?
It's worse than you think, tbh.
We TRADED UP to get him in the 2nd round. Traded a 3rd round pick and a 4th round pick to move up a few spots.
His younger brother at FSU looks just as elite
That's brutal. Could've used those picks on defenders. Never enough good defenders, especially in a division with high octane offenses.
At least janikowski held the job for 15+ years
It was a of a pick, all things considered.At least janikowski held the job for 15+ years
And he's still there. The Raiders also picked Ray Guy in the first round, and he's in the hall of fame, so they're the undisputed king of drafting kickers. Jason Hanson was in Detroit for like 20 years. Aguayo looks like the real deal, so it's a great pick for them if he has a career like some of those other guys.At least janikowski held the job for 15+ years
It's like Taco is y'all's GM, tbh..
The jaguars took a punter in the 3rd round ahead of rusell wilson that one time
My first thought when I saw this thread.
with jameis at qb, you need a great kicker, so it makes sense.
He is not the most accurate kicker in college history. He is #3:
1. Brett Baer* 90.00 2009 2012 Louisiana-Lafayette
2. Alex Henery* 89.47 2007 2010 Nebraska
3. Roberto Aguayo* 88.46 2013 2015 Florida State
Baer wasn’t drafted and never kicked in the NFL. Henery was drafted by the Eagles in the fourth round and isn’t considered an elite kicker, if he is even still kicking.
Yeah, whoops. Clearly I don't follow the Bucs. Sorry.
I watched him at FSU. Didn't follow his struggles since being drafted, and totally should have realized this was a 20/20 hindsight thread. I just thought someone was wondering why a team would draft a kicker that high. As a Raiders fan, you should be able to explain it. I wouldn't bother trying to someone to OP how draft picks don't guarantee performance, though.
He was a big reason why FSU lost yesterday
Game winner
You could see the fear in his eyes and the special teams coach was on his ass during that timeout. Funny . Good for him that he made the game winner. Didn't make up for the 2 that would've made this game winner moot.
i mean it kinda made up for it in that they won the game
I can only shake my head.
Steve Largent was let go, he was just too slow to play wide receiver at the pro football level.
After three seasons we were hearing this..."he's a bust"...that was O.J. Simpson.
The Steelers cut John Unitas.
The Giants cut Don Maynard....HOFer as is all those mentioned above.
Would you rookies stop freaking out over a game, a few games? My God people, sheesh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GIVE THINGS SOME DAMN TIME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hall of Famer
Despite an All-American career at the University of Tulsa, Largent was not selected until the fourth round of the 1976 NFL draft by the Houston Oilers (117th pick). After four preseason games, he was slated to be cut, but was instead traded to the expansion Seattle Seahawks for a 1977 eighth-round pick.
