re: Would you be in favor of a 5th or 6th round pick saving 7.5M cap space next 2 yrs?

True story.

Saints won the Super Bowl with a rookie punter that was 29th in the NFL with net average and 17th in NFL with punting average.

Generally, his net average has been a bit more impressive than his actual distance average on punts. Probably punts a bit more hang time... Saints cover teams have to get a bit of credit for that as well. I've never been overly impressed with morestead's pinning accuracy. He's mr. punt it to 10 yrd line like clock work when sometimes you'd expect a bit better pinning when you evaluate his contract.


I'm averaging his net avg/and distance avg ranking in nfl from every year:
2016 5.5
2015 13.5
2014 5.5
2013 5.5
2012 2
2011 3
2010 9.5
2009 23
