This is a false dichotomy fallacy. You don't even have to pick a kicker in the draft. They already spent some capital on a kicker this offseason, a 7th swap, which is well indicative of a kickers value in the NFL.

Harrison Butker - the kicker of the champs - was a seventh round pick who got cut and then picked up by the Chiefs. We'll be lucky if Moody is as good as him.

An upside for a third round kicker is an udfa or late draft kicker.
An upside for a positional player is Fred Warner.

Butker, is the outlier, dynasty. Those things don't usually happen all the time. So, in between those times, got to keep on chopping the tree.

Per the link below he was 7-8 between 40 and 49, and 3 for 7 beyond 50 (in 2022).

That totals the 66.6, which means that scouting report didn't differentiate between 40-49 and 50+. Gould's career is 77% from 40 to 49. Moody's was 87.5% from that range (in 2022).

This is no different than drafting Wish. He's been good enough but nothing worth his draft position. We could sign a million punters off the street to do the same. Here we are again

This is nonsense. Robbie Gould was undrafted. Justin Tucker was undrafted. Last two kickers we went to the superbowl with were...wait for it... UNDRAFTED

There is also no indication that he has the strongest leg or anything of the sort within this very class.

Pick 112 justifies why we picked Moody where we did!

Yeah, that's data you can take to court.

Yeah, I know - it happens with every position. Great LBers, WRs, TEs, OL, DL, CB, S, RB, who were low draft picks or were never drafted.

No other position has as many guys succeed in last five rounds/udfa as in the first four rounds. Please stop this madness.

Also keep in mind that Harbaugh was his head coach and had him attempt at least two kicks from beyond 60 yards which throws off the numbers a bit.

Yes,I mean the kickers. Kickers have the highest replaceability rate in the league for a reason. You hit on a kicker and it's like cool its just like a guy we could've had in fa for one and a half more million. You miss on a kicker and now you cut a third round pick and lack the potential upside of a Fred Warner or whoever else you could've had. And historically - like I've said - there is no indication a kicker chosen in third will be better than a guy chosen in the seventh or undrafted.
