Consider me tainted since Roberto Aguayo. I don't believe in trading up for them. There are a surplus of good ones and they change teams every season.

Taking one in the 5th isn’t nearly as bad. Idk if I would’ve traded up and I believe the 5th is still a little early but drafting Aguayo there was asinine

It’s hardly uncommon, however. Mid-to-low-round picks routinely don’t make the 53-man roster of a given team, walking away with their signing bonuses and giving the organization regret for picking them instead of someone else.

But the Vikings have learned the hard way the danger of sticking with a kicker in the hopes that he’ll find a way to get over the yips. Blair Walsh had been a solid contributor from 2012 through 2015. He shanked a chip shot that would have sealed a playoff win over the Seahawks, and he never was the same.

Tack those three back on, or remove them from the overall attempts, and you're looking at 82-83% depending on which way you lean.
