brownie man Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) My Browns are having terrible kicking woes right now. Our guys suck So I was just thinking what would be the price tag on a kicker like Tucker be as he the best in the game. First rounder? Second rounder?

August4th Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I would give a 2nd RD pick for him. kickers can last forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I’d give up a late 2nd if I needed a kicker and the rest of my roster was pretty solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Browns all grown up. They've moved on to 'our kicker needs replacing'. Welcome 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 They’ll take a 2nd. And harbs will turn around and make some other kicker into an all pro. He’s a special teams wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RavensTillIDie Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 1st or bust. We've seen what it's like around the league, it's not easy to find a quality kicker, let alone an elite one like Tucker. Throw in the fact that he accounts for a significant part of our scoring and it would be hard to part with him for anything else. With that said, no team is going to trade that for him and we're unlikely to ever put his name out there in trade talks, so it's all a moot point. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeTheBallDeep Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 If you have a solid roster all around and think you have a chance to win a Super Bowl next season, I would trade a 2nd with it potentially becoming a 1st if our team makes the Super Bowl. If a team like the Saints, Rams, Patriots, Chiefs, and so on had a terrible kicker then it would be something to consider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what happened to Blair Walsh and Martin Gramatica, for instance. I wouldn't trade more than a late 5th for a kicker, no matter how good he was.

wackywabbit Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 A second is what teams would have to offer and the Ravens will say no. I think the value you can reasonably expect Tucker to add for the length of time he shouldn't fall off is greater than the average (and certainly the median) value of a 2nd round pick.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I wouldn't accept anything less than a 1st round pick for Tucker if I was EDC. The consistency, the clutch factor, the proven track record. That's absolutely worth a 1st round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at what happened to Blair Walsh and Martin Gramatica, for instance. I wouldn't trade more than a late 5th for a kicker, no matter how good he was. Neither one of those guys sustained their "excellent" play for more than 2-3 seasons. Gramatica's best years (99-02) he was still sitting in the low 80% range of FG%. Blair Walsh never hit 90% again besides his rookie year, and only in 2 of his next 5 seasons eclipsed 85%. Justin Tucker has never been below 82.5% in his career, and his average is 90%. Oh, an in that 82.5% year (2015), his misses were all from beyond 50 yards. His only other "miss" was a kick in SF, which spawned this notorious gif of their turf: So I mean yeah, kickers can lose it in a hurry and at any time. Justin Tucker just ain't that dude.

If a team like the Saints, Rams, Patriots, Chiefs, and so on had a terrible kicker then it would be something to consider I agree with this. He's still young enough where you'd get plenty of good years out of him. But your kicker would have to be awful to not just roll with who you've got.
