Iirc he was a 4th. I don’t think of them as busts when they don’t pan out.

Last I saw, less than 25% of third round picks become starters in the NFL.

I think the fourth round pick starter rate was something like 7-10%.

Yeah make sense. Which is why I only consider 1-2 round to be busts if they don’t pan out. I shouldn’t have put Miller on the list.

If Payton and Foskey make it over him I’ll be sick!! He played better than both!!

I get what you’re saying but we aren’t gonna keep two place kickers.

they play completely different positions

 

[PBsWhodat]

they play completely different positions

I get that but players who produced in camp getting cut over players who are only around because of draft status isn’t right. Thats what separates the good teams from the bad.

I think he deleted that comment. I was laughing at that.

Good teams don't keep 2 place kickers on their 53 man roster.

Smyth likely ends up on the PS with the International Player exemption.

Beyond that, Payton is solid as your #4 DE. Foskey? I'd cut him, but that still could happen.

Not saying keep two kickers. Grupe shouldn’t be on the team either.

hergel? dang

For me personally, I still expect at least a serviceable depth player in the third round. The fourth round and beyond is where things really just fall off a cliff and the difference between being a fourth round pick and a UDFA is splitting hairs.

 

[Mamba]

No one is going to put a PK with a groin issue and a single year of experience on their 53. He's clearing waivers.

 

[St. Widge]

So are you saying that Smyth should have been the Kicker? I would be fine with that, but the truth is that Grupe was okay last year, out kicked Smyth by a bit in camp, and Smyth only attempted one Kick in a preseason game. Last week was his chance to win the job but he had a tight groin. Hard to make a guy your kicker who has only tried one kick in an NFL game, which was a preseason game, only tried one kick in a stadium with people in it, and didn't kick in college.

But, I could see them singing a vet kicker if the right guy becomes available.

This isn't the final version of the 53 man roster and it's likely not going to be the 53 man roster on opening day. It's almost certainly not he same 53 man roster we will see on the Tuesday after the first game.

 

[Fiyo]

Looks like Rico Payton made the team

Good for him. I was cautious about all the excitement about him after only one preseason game. But he kept it up and looks like he earned. So I am gladly wrong after my initial reaction after the Cardinal game

 

[OldSaintFan]

Surprised we havent heard the cries of "wasted draft Pick"

We just did.
