There are (at least) two highly regarded kickers in this year's draft -- Karty from Stanford and Reichard from Alabama. I'd be disappointed if we didn't draft a kicker. I'm probably a bigger Money Badger supporter than most, but high quality prospects are not available every year and there's no escaping that he's below average.

Who said that? The off-season just started. They will get another one. His drafted kicker blew the PAT and cost them a championship.

Emotionally things will then get ugly. I’ll drink a bottle of rum, get into an argument with my wife about calming down and maybe break a golf club.
After that I’ll feel better. Shampoo, lather, rinse, repeatF#*K OHIO!!!

Best Team Fit: Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions came within a game of the franchise's first Super Bowl last year. But the team's 27th-ranked pass defense was a major liability all season—largely because the cornerbacks in Motown were average on a good day and awful on a bad one.
L'Jarius Sneed's 2023 season was anything but average. One year after piling up 108 total tackles, Sneed's coverage play excelled—he allowed just 51 percent of the passes thrown in his direction to be completed, with a passer rating against of just 56.2.
Sneed has been mentioned more than once as a potential franchise-tag candidate. But ESPN's Dan Graziano believes that Kansas City has actually been preparing for the eventuality of Sneed's departure for some time.
"Sneed is one of the league's top corners and a key part of the Chiefs' defense (nine pass breakups last season and 10 career interceptions), so he wouldn't be easy to replace," Graziano wrote. "But the Chiefs have drafted four cornerbacks in the past two drafts, including 2022 first-rounder Trent McDuffie, who appears more than ready to take over as the No. 1 corner if Sneed leaves. Their draft strategy has been preparing them for the possibility of this happening. (Chris) Jones, who is the key to their pass rush and a top-five defender in the league, seems to be more difficult to replace than Sneed."
We have actually seen this movie before—Kansas City let Charvarius Ward walk in 2022 (the year they drafted McDuffie) rather than dole out a big contract. And if Sneed does make it to the open market, Detroit has over $50 million in cap space with which to take a run at him and add an impact player on defense.
Projected Contract: Three years, $54 million, $37 million guaranteed
I know, I probably shouldn't get my hopes up, but you have to admit that it is a nice thing to dream about :-)

3 years $54M isn't a break the bank contract. Let Jackson go in FA and replace with our 1st round pick (Several top quality OG prospects available around 29). Might have to cut Cominsky and replace with a 2nd-rounder (there are several players who could give us similar production around there. I like Luther Ellis' kid, for example.)
