The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made a massive mistake in drafting Roberto Aguayo. That mistake was obvious from the moment they made the pick: highly drafted kickers bust about half the time, and spending a pick that high on a kicker is really only a good value proposition if it succeeds 100% of the time—and that’s not something you can know.
But general manager Jason Licht, instead, thinks the problem is that he made a “bold move” that backfired, the general manager told The MMQB. Even more baffling is the fact that he blames Aguayo’s struggles on the pressure on the kicker, and then suggests that bringing in competition in his rookie year would have lessened that pressure.
