Earliest you'd get a punter?
Several things are worth consideration.
1. Tommy Townsend was insanely good the last couple years. 2. Effective punting, especially with a defense as good as ours, is critical. 3. Matt Araiza was a top candidate at one point, but the Chiefs aren't even his first stop since his acquittal. He had a tryout with the Jets in 2023, and they didn't elect to sign him. So, he either got really good in the past year, or he's probably a replacement-level punter, and the Chiefs need a new one. 4. Forward to 20:00 of Brett Kollman's Q&A video: That leads to my question: There's a couple really good punters in this class -- would you invest a pick in one? Would you take your chances in UDFA? Or are you comfortable rolling into the season with a potentially replacement-level punter. |

Tommy Townsend was not insanely good the last couple of years. He was pretty much league average last season.

Why is this the 2nd time that a punter is being brought up this offseason?
We're not spending a draft pick on a ****ing punter. |

We have the best punting prospect probably in history on the team already.

Drafting a Kicker is something maybe consider in the 5th onward. Drafting a Punter, on the other hand, is not something I'd ever consider. We don't need either though.

Also - will LRZ be our back up/emergency punter, with his rugby experience?

"In 2022, the Ravens signed Tucker to a four-year, $24 million contract extension (with $17.5 million guaranteed)." 2 years down the line from that deal, I'll bet we're looking at a $28MM / $20MM guaranteed across 4 years for Butker. - SB winning/tying kicks - SB record setting kick - AFCCG winning/tying kicks - Multiple clutch regular season kicks I think he's probably on track to be a HOF kicker, and I think we hang on to him at least through this next contract window.

This team is pretty damn complete. There aren't a lot of areas on offense and defense that require a lot of draft capital. Combine that with Toub having as much influence on roster construction as any ST coach in the league, and hey. |

OT, IOL, WR, RB and TE of the future......those all require draft capital.
