IMO is was a D grade draft and a real disappointment... And to answer your question I don't have much faith in the Front Office...

The reason they are not in love with Kia is he sucks at kickoffs and the result was horrific last year because of it.

Kobra Kai has a weak leg on kickoffs... But to blame the ST play on him is lunacy, and to draft a K is even worse...

Yeah but to potentially use a 53 man roster spot for a second kicker as well as activating a second kicker for the 46 man game day roster seems futile in an era where they keep starting the kickoff team further and further up the field.

With that said the Kicker was the only SEC player the team drafted so I think its a foregone conclusion that the Skins will go 0-16 next year #SECSpeed #InfinityBajillionBCSChampionships

Which is why they were the only team to propose that they move the kickoffs to the 40 yard line at the meetings this year.

Agree wholeheartedly. A kicker who cannot put the ball into the end zone is a huge liability on special teams. We need a guy who gets touchbacks most of the time, not returns to the 30 yard line and beyond.
