well got some backup at spots of need so that's good, interesting to see a punter

[hermes]

Pretty non-descript finish to the draft. A couple guards and linebackers and a punter. Looks like Kluwe is going to be out the door.

they are having a kicking competition i think i heard right?

heard some commentary on the radio and they seem to think that getting a punter in the 5th round (or in the draft at all) is a big enough commitment to indicate that kluwe is most likely out - since you can grab punters easy off the street

They can save something like 1.5 million by cutting Kluwe, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was cut before training camp starts. Maybe it allows us to sign a linebacker.

Cutting him and saving a million per season makes sense to me, especially since Locke would be expected to be at least as good if not an upgrade at this point. Although it seems like other stuff might need to happen as well, since vets like Urlacher or Dansby would cost a bit.

i don't know about urlacher

would seem to go against our cheap, youth movement

We're a mix of youth & win now. We need our young guys to take it to the next level so we can win at least one Superbowl in the next 2-4 years with AP currently in his prime.

what's the story w/ Mauti - I was under the impression he was an upper echelon ILB, but they were talking like he has had some major injury problems or somethin?

[Worm Guts]

He tore his ACL in November for the 3rd time.
