I love the pick. I don't think that a 3-4 round pick is too early to use to fill such a glaring need. Teams generally punt about 4 times per game. Last year the Chiefs averaged only 34 net yards per punt. If we average 39 yards this year, that's 20 yards per game or 320 per season. If a WR or RB improves by 20 yards per game over the previous year, it's a tremendous advantage.
It's also very possible that we may get a couple of turnovers via muffed punts, too.
