[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1001904, member: 7261"] I kind of view rounds 6 and 7 as a way of grabbing guys, that a team likes enough to draft and not risk someone else doing the same or having to compete with other teams in the UDFA process. Maybe guys they see as excellent special teamers or guys that with some coaching, could be a major hit. But for most positions, you probably aren't drafting a guy in the 6th and 7th round that you view as an instant starter. Now with K's, P's and even LS's, the draft is always interesting. "When do you draft one, if you need one?" We have seen teams like Tampa Bay grab a kicker (Roberto Aguayo) that they must have just been in love with, in Round 2 (59th pick). They even traded their 3rd and 4th round pick to move up to get him. Aquayo flops and it is a scar that the franchise still carries. Yet, look at all the 2nd round flops (non-kickers/punters) that all teams have had and have for the most part been forgotten. The Packers had a similar flop with K Brett Conway, when they used a 3rd round pick (#90). This year, the 49'ers used their second pick in the draft (#99) to select K Jake Moody. A guy I hoped the Packers would select, but not until the 6th or 7th round. I guess what I am trying to say is if your team is in need of a K, P or LS, go get him in the draft, because you will probably get a guy that is viewed as one of the best out of college. When in the draft do you select him, can just be a total guessing game. [/QUOTE]
