I'll take Bryan Anger all day over Butler. Number 1 ranked punter. Is projected as a 3-4 rounder but I doubt a team will draft a punter that high. Averages more yards per punt than Butler. Never totally understood the love fest for Butler on here. I mean yeah he would be a great punter to get in a late round, but I just feel like I am missing something the way people act about him.

I've seen both Butler and Anger listed as the top punter in various sites (Powell as well in a few), and I have not seen one that lists either as a 3rd or 4th round prospect. From everything I have read, they are both projected to go in the 5th or 6th round.

As for their numbers, they had the exact same punting average this season, but for their careers, Butler's numbers are better. And I'm not sure about Anger, but Butler gets very good hang time in addition to his great average. Either would be fine long-term punters for us, so I'll gladly take whoever the team likes.

Anger - 2011 - 44.2 ave.

- Career 44.0 ave.

- 4 career punts blocked

Butler - 2011 - 44.2 ave.

- Career 45.4 ave.

- 0 career punts blocked

Is drafting a puter that important to you guys? I do not believe we are in the position, yet, to use any draft pick on a Kicker. Plus, we already have Medlock under contract. Although, curiously, he has yet to be given a #.

And before you flame me, I do realize a good kicking game is worth its weight in gold. But, I also believe that finding a decent punter, that can multitask, is not a difficult as it once was. Besides, with our offense, how good of a punter do we actually need? Just one with good hang time should do the trick.

Replacing Mare is going to be more difficult. Other than that, GOOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
