Saccopoo Memorial Draft Forum>Earliest you'd get a punter?
Direckshun 06:54 AM 04-11-2024
Several things are worth consideration.

1. Tommy Townsend was insanely good the last couple years.

2. Effective punting, especially with a defense as good as ours, is critical.

3. Matt Araiza was a top candidate at one point, but the Chiefs aren't even his first stop since his acquittal. He had a tryout with the Jets in 2023, and they didn't elect to sign him. So, he either got really good in the past year, or he's probably a replacement-level punter, and the Chiefs need a new one.

4. Forward to 20:00 of Brett Kollman's Q&A video:



That leads to my question:

There's a couple really good punters in this class -- would you invest a pick in one? Would you take your chances in UDFA? Or are you comfortable rolling into the season with a potentially replacement-level punter.

I know, you give me a little both ways. :-)

Direkshun is good people though bro. I disagree with him too, I'm just not shitting down his throat and then pissing on his face for good measure.

Earliest? Next season, after I give the new kid a look.

lol I avoid the main forum mostly bc I feel like all of the threads reach some sort of critical mass threshold where the conversation devolves into two CPers having a shouting match with each other like two middle schoolers on the playground or better yet a challenge to meet at the George Brett statue for a showdown bahahahaha

I appreciate a quality debate, but it's beyond me why those shouting matches are so prevalent.

LOL

Well, everybody was right and wrong.

Rehkow — the punter featured in the OP — is in fact a Chief now, competition for Araiza. (Tory Taylor was taken in the 4th.)

He was taken as a UDFA, however. No pick was needed.

"UDFA only. /thread"
Not everybody was "right and wrong" though, some of us were just right.

That’s fair.

There were two responses to my OP. One said that you should only take a punter in UDFA, and the other was that there was no perceivable need at punter.

One argument was in sync with Veach, the other not.

So you were still wrong. They weren't using a pick on a damn punter.

I can’t believe I missed this thread.

It’s quite likely the Jets didn’t sign him - not because he wasn’t good - but because the civil case was still outstanding. He was dropped from that in December. Hence, Chiefs signed him not long after.

So it had absolutely nothing to do with his ability. The very fact that the Chiefs signed the guy in the first place and let Townsend walk should’ve been your first clue.

I can’t believe there’s a world where we just signed that guy and someone thinks we might draft a punter.

We snagged Butkicker off the Panthers PS.

Tommy was an UDFA.

Stupid teams spend picks on these players. Veach and co aren’t stupid.
