Would you agree or disagree with the claim that kickers are the most undervalued position in the league?

[patriotsheatyan]

Mostly undervalued by management rather than by fans. 

Thoughts?

everyone knows good kickers can win you 2 games per year but there arent many great kickers out there

So why are they paid so little?

I think they're paid relatively fairly.  They don't see nearly as many snaps, aren't putting their bodies in as much danger.  Depend on the rest of the team to even see the field.

Id love to be an elite nfl kicker but there are very few...

no. they are appropriately valued

Serious question:

If you are like the Vikings and are going all in to win a SB in the next couple years, would you trade a 2nd for Justin Tucker?

I have no problems with trading a second for Tucker if I were a legit super bowl contender with kicker issues. I mean, it's basically a back end of the round second round pick for a guy who so far has been one of the greatest kickers in NFL history. 

[DirtyDez]

Yep.  Not everyone has Johnny Hekker on standby.

Someone should ask the Cleveland Browns front office this question.

Yes, I'd do it. The Vikes will be getting a healthy amount of comp picks in 2019 anyway.

Good point, aren't they projected like a third and a couple of fourths? 

[vikesfan89]

It's not like the Vikings haven't tried to improve. They just keep picking the wrong ones

[I <3 Faulk]

Rams won 34-0 with a punter playing as our kicker. The arguement is invalid.  

 

Seriously though, idk. Greg the Leg means a lot to the Rams. 

[H.E Pennypacker]

Chargers go 11-5 last year with just a decent kicker.

They are paid more than fairly but I think an extremely reliable kicker who can also get them from 50+ is worth a late 2nd-early 3rd rd pick.
