A pair of the most overlooked, marginal positions in the NFL occupies the special teams unit. Punters and kickers are often overlooked when comparing separate teams, but these positions are easy to upgrade, and they are often the difference in tight games.
For the reasons listed above, I think one of the places a team should begin to rebuild is with kickers. You can normally...
The Jaguars are getting great value from their third round punter Bryan Anger
Anger was selected in the third round, 70th overall, in the 2012 NFL Draft, becoming the highest drafted punter since Todd Sauerbrun in 1995 and the first punter drafted by the Jaguars since 2007. He has not disappointed this year though, he has actually been one of the biggest bright spots for the Jags. Anger has punted 19 times this year and has already punted for over a 1000...

“Jaguars source says, ‘third round draft pick, has around a 5 second hang time”
The Jacksonville Jaguars made an interesting pick in the 2012 NFL Draft; at third round they picked a punter, some believe would have been available in later rounds (was the number one punter in the draft keep in mind).

Bryan Anger: Punter and so much more
The Jacksonville Jaguars have a history of inexplicable draft moves, highlighted by using a 2005 first round pick on a drugged out QB with the intention of converting him to wide receiver.
