What are you trying to say here? pick 122 makes league minimum per season that ends up being about $4M over the entire length of the contract. There are a ton of reasons to dislike punter in the 4th but salary is objectively not one of the issues. LMK if I missed the context of what that is in response to.
there's nothing a human punter can do to justify a 4th round selection. because the role is simply too small and inconsequential. as evidenced by their salaries. as evidenced by the small difference league-wide in starting field position. if the bears offense was the hawkeyes offense it would be different. this is a bad idea in a vacuum, but it's especially bad given offensive profile
you win in a hard capped league by cumulative performance above salary. a great punter at the minimum, despite the negligible bust potential here, doesn't do much to achieve that objective
the best teams are generally the ones with the best QBs (greatly underpaid) and the most consequential players on rookie deals
barring disaster the bears will be punting under 4 times a game. and disproportionately from close to midfield, where the value of a big leg is diluted
the donald, always unpopular, did worse in EVERY state in 2020. and by a greater margin in red states! 50 independently-run elections, none of them rigged
