At least we know tea and scrumpets was auto drafted...but what is it with people thinking a kicker makes that much of a difference?

But I got Vinateri!

Still not worth it.
Fact is, Vinitieri had 113 point last year which wasn't in the top 10. Couple that with the fact that he had only 28 FG attempts last year, and the colts as a team only attempted 26 in each of the past two seasons (04, and 05), it doesn't bode well that he was taken so high. Sure he's a top 4 kicker or so, but 9th round? No way.

So what's the difference with a Neil Rackers (2nd ranked kicker in athlon) and Jason Hanson (15th ranked kicker)??? Nothing really. Rackers had 116 points last year, and Hanson had 117.
