Browns take a kicker in 4th round, highest for a kicker since Roberto Aguayo in 2016

It's always a bit tricky, figuring out when to draft a punter or kicker.

The Browns took LSU kicker Cade York in the fourth round, with the 124th overall pick. ESPN said that's the highest a kicker has gone in the draft since ... Tampa Bay took Roberto Aguayo with the 59th pick of the 2016 NFL draft.
