I get what you are saying, but im ok with drafting a stud kicker with the last pick.

But Succop's not really a 'stud' kicker. He's just another kicker in a sea of decet kickers. He looks great by comparison because the rest of our draft is dogshit.
Break his #s down, he's making his bones off of chip shots.
He's 8 for 8 on kicks shorter than 30 yards.
He's 2-5 on kicks greater than 49.
In other words, on the gimme kicks that he damn well oughta be good; he is. On the long kicks where the true 'studs' show themselves to be difference makers, he's below average.
Even his game winner against Pitt was a 22 yarder, I'm hardly going to start on his Canton bust just yet on account of a glorified XP.
I wouldn't go calling us set at kicker just yet. I think we had a better one in Barth.
(and you're right, my first post didn't make much sense, it had a typo. I meant to say that Barth does not have a weaker leg)
