Best thing isn't the move itself. It's the fact this particular kicker is 12-22 beyond 40 yards. Dude's a hack.
I read he was 20-29 from beyond 40 (also not very good, especially for college).
It is this kind of draft pick where it is up to the owner to have a sit-down and let the GM explain himself. If the answer is not good enough to sway the owner then it would be in the team's best interest to find a new GM.
Trading up to draft a Kicker requires:
1. Complete lack of awareness of positional value
2. Complete lack of awareness of draft pick value
3. Complete lack of awareness of salary cap benefits of rookie contracts.
Being a good GM requires understanding how all the pieces fit together and how roster cycles flow.
