The last time 4 punters were drafted the same year, 5 qb's were drafted in the 1st rnd.
So it is a trend.😂😂
FG team struggled at times due to injuries at LS.
I really don't think Vogels punting is in question, but if Scott can match him in punting competition and proves to be a more reliable holder
then he will win the job.

blueleopard;393864Nobody is gonna trade for a punter.
The bottom line here is competition.
It looks like he's a good holder too, which Crosby desperately needs.
4/23/2018: Giants trade for punter Riley Dixon.

If he doesn't pan out, well, at least Gute didn't waste picks trading up to grab him.

I'm just fine with this pick as long as he turns out to be a very good or better punter. If he flops or is just average, this will be a horrible pick. As always, it comes down to how good the player is. Most draft picks are justified if the player turns out to be very good.

wpr;393884My son was freaking out over this pick. He thinks Vogel is fine.
It's nice to have a roster that is more or less complete. With all those late round picks, most of them won't make the team. Why not invest a pick in a punter (or long snapper)? They have a better chance of contributing than the 8th WR.
Tell your son fine is fine but better is better.
If Scott is better than Vogel it improves the position and any improvement at any position improves the team.
By the time you get to 5th round comp picks anyone you choose has just as good a chance to help the team as anyone else you could have picked so why not.

Past performance is a Punters resume'. Scott simply is a more talented Punter than Vogel. Vogel will move on to another team in need as Scott settles into his new job.

In the end, Vogel got a look from Cleveland in the offseason but ended up spending the season as a free agent. Whether Scott was a significant upgrade over Vogel is debatable, but it's clear no other team was clamoring for Vogel's services.

Nonstopdrivel;411050In the end, Vogel got a look from Cleveland in the offseason but ended up spending the season as a free agent. Whether Scott was a significant upgrade over Vogel is debatable, but it's clear no other team was clamoring for Vogel's services.
Last year Vogel's numbers were: 71 punts 44.4 gross 41.6 net (#7 overall) 19 Inside the 20. 24 fair caught.
Scott 56 punts 45.3 gross 39.7 net (#17) 17 Inside the 20. 21 fair caught.
Even if GB doesn't want Vogel I don't see why another team doesn't. His 41.6 net is 8th best this year. Cleveland's punter avg is only 38.

Maybe he doesn't audition well? Some people have a tendency to lock up when they're trying out for a big gig. Of course, there is always the possibility of personality issues to which the public isn't privy. Sometimes it doesn't matter how good you are at your job if the chemistry isn't there.
