Accurate and strong leg, dude kicked nearly from the 50 yard line
Wasn't going to last by the time we picked next in the 5th round

Yep, not concerned at all, that it was at #99. And, what's this 3rd round, s**t.

Several games are won or lost in the closing seconds every week. Look how often Gould won or tied games for this team. They needed a replacement and they took the best one on the board. It's not like they passed up some position player that was going to make a difference. I know there are hidden gems but I'd rather have a guy you know is going to contribute each week than a guy that might not even make the team.

Not really.
Punter is one thing as basically you just need a strong leg. And sure, hang time, directional ability and some of those things separate the guys in the league from the guys on the street. So really, as far as that goes you probably couldn't sign a million punters off the street to do the same thing.
But place kickers in particular are, imo, a different breed still. The ones on the street are on the street because they're not very good. Or at least not very reliable.
Remember when we brought a kicker in off the street in 2019 for a few in Chase McLauglin and he missed that kick against Seattle in a game we ultimately lost?
He's recovered okayish since then. Had pretty solid productivity on a bad Colts team last year and turned it into a free agent contract with Tampa Bay. But kickers are so weird that it doesn't take much for them to become unreliable. Let's just hope Moody isn't weird.

I can't see going that high for a kicker. They fall into too many peaks and valleys. As I said before the only kicker I see going overboard on was the Great Ray Guy.

Same thing for Qbs, but, you got no choice but, to keep swinging.

Ugh. What a dumb pick. And we already traded for a kicker.
