In response to "LIR: David, how about we make a bet on Gostkowski?" by ReluctantCynic

That's completely orthagonal to the the point.

(and one specific player isn't the point, as injuries are a thing for receivers).

The point is that the difference between the kicker you take to replace Gostkowski will not be larger than the difference between Smith and the receiver taken in the 9th round, when a kicker should be taken. Marginal points.

Spawn looked around the table and didn't see the sucker.

Responses:

So marginal points in a position on a starting roster matter more than marginal points between a position on the starting roster and the bench? - ReluctantCynic Aug 31, 11:25 13
- Does the site you mentioned have mock drafts? - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 31, 11:34
- you're only considering one half of the equation. Who is the receiver you're taking later? - Reagen Aug 31, 11:27 11
  - Let's take the present example -- pick any WR that was drafted in Astronauts in the same round after Spawn picked Gostkowski. - ReluctantCynic Aug 31, 11:31 10
    - you need to compare them to 9th round quality receivers - Reagen Aug 31, 11:34 8
      - A note is that I have no 8th round pick. I could have waited 7th round but there were no players left on the board I valued higher than him. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:42 4
        
        this is it for me. My value, I may have flyers I want to take in 8-9-10 and draft a kicker in 7th round cause I know the others will be there later -- nm - Beaker Aug 31, 11:45
        
        Then I'd let someone else (RC) make the mistake. -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:44 2
        
        See my "4,3" post below. *That* value alone makes it a lock. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:46 1
        
        "I mean, *someone* has to pull the pin on the grenade, it's just sitting there!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:48
      - At best you can compare them to the player Spawn takes in that round. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 31, 11:37 2
        
        My #1 concern when drafting a kicker (other than, you know, does he have the job) is what is his bye week? -- nm - Reagen Aug 31, 11:44 1
        
        I generally like a later bye week. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 31, 11:51
    - Dammit, Mike Wallace was taken? I missed that. - David Aug 31, 11:31
