Guess I stand corrected. I'd say some teams are greatly over-valuing punters, but, obviously, what do I know?
And jokes aside, I agree with you. I'm not thrilled about a punter at 5... and certainly not trading up for one. But I love that we took the best prospect, it was AT 5, and we have a need at the position for TWO reasons (cap + talent).
Seattle has received some crazy hate over the last few years because I think everyone expected a dynasty with like 3 SB easy wins... but end of day they have a lot of talent and starters that are not getting replaced. I like Penny, because he'll start. I like Green, because he'll see reps on passing downs and likely start if 1-2 years of development goes right. I like Dissly because he'll inevitably start when E. Dickson likely goes down with another injury. I also like Dickson, because IMO the Seahawks should cut Ryan right now.
The other picks... outside of Griffin who at least provides a huge boost to team morale and makes our #1/#2 CB care more (not to mention he'd be a 1st-2nd round pick if he had both hands) I'm not as high on.
