The Onside Kick Family Hour: Drafting a kicker early is the worst kind of surprise in the NFL Draft

Danny Kelly, Stephen White and RVB reconvene to discuss this year’s NFL Draft results. This includes a lot of cussin’ about the Buccaneers trading up to take a kicker in the second round.

The 2016 NFL Draft has come and gone, but the pain ... the pain lasts forever. Okay, so there’s a lot to be excited about too, but it’s going to take more than that to help folks get over the Buccaneers drafting a kicker, trading up to draft a kicker, in the second round.

Join retired NFL defensive end and long-suffering Bucs fan (sort of) Stephen White, Danny Kelly and myself as we walk through the highs and lows of this year’s NFL Draft. It’s not all kicker talk, but that’s easily the best part with plenty of NSFW language to describe what keeps a terrible franchise from ever being anything but terrible.

We started with more Tunsil talk. After that, we started Jaggin’ off, by which I mean we talked about how good the Jaguars roster looks right now and asked the question of whether or not that will finally translate to a winning season. There’s plenty here about defensive linemen, wide receivers and we even spent some time talking about the fallout on the quarterback front. And that means we get to laugh at Sam Bradford a little bit.

You can listen above, or you can subscribe to our podcast on iTunes, if that's your sort of thing.
