I mean it's by far the most controversial. How often in the last two decades has a kicker been drafted in the third round or higher…… if he isn't a damn good kicker then the 49ers deserve all the rightful criticism that comes with doing that. That's just the truth of it
I mean #99 is really the top of the 4th. A kicker's been taken in the 1st round even,...it all depends on how much of a weapon you feel you really have for years to come. The extra FA signing that he might allow on a yearly basis could be tremendous the next 4 years. We'll see.
Oh here we go with that crap again. No, it's really called a third round pick and he was drafted on day two, not day three when the 4th round begins.
It's pick #99....the round doesn't matter,...the slotting does.
Traditionally w/32 teams or less....the 99th pick is an early 4th round pick.
Sorry for you if you really have convinced yourself that calling the #99 overall pick a "3rd rounder" puts some extra sauce on things,...but a "round" doesn't really say much.
If anything,...it gives a little assistance to people that aren't too great with numbers.
If the round doesn't matter, then why the need for saying essentially a 4th rounder? Traditional doesn't exist anymore with comp picks. The simple truth is that people say "essentially" a round later to make themselves feel better about the pick or In last year's case with Hufanga, try to make it sound worse. It is what it is, Moody was a 3rd round pick, a comp pick, but still a 3rd round comp pick. Not an essential 4th rounder. Hufanga was a 5th round pick, not an essential 6th rounder. There's no arguing it. You can spin it how you want to make yourself feel better. How the hell am I putting extra sauce on it? I didn't make the rules or come up with comp picks. Aren't too great with numbers? Or are people not too great with accepting the FACT that he was a 3rd round pick?
