Reuben Foster, maybe even Solomon Thomas could be a worse pick.

Non of this justifies spending a 4th on a punter. Especially Mitch.
I disagree, Michael Dickson was worth a 4th, and Mitch will have been if he reaches that level, he isn't there yet.
Dickson is fantastic, but no punter is worth a fourth. Punter doesn't impact winning enough (except when they're horrible), as seen in there trade/market value. Many good ones found for much less.
We'll agree to disagree, the likelihood of getting difference makers in the 4th is low, though I agree that the likelihood of getting a very good 7th rd or UDFA punter is decent. You're also more likely to get a dud.
Would I advocate it as a regular strategy? No, but if you do it say once every 8 years or so I don't mind.
Seahawks won't have to worry about it until he gets as expensive as Andy Lee. Might be that way with Mitch
