They took a kicker in the 1st rounder and a punter in the 5th.  At least both were excellent though.

18. Speaking of Oakland's kicking game, the Raiders famously took kicker Sebastian Janikowski with the 17th pick of the first round of the 2000 draft - the same draft in which they took Lechler in the 5th round, thus rounding out their kicking unit for the next 13 years.

Well, probably could have traded back for the kicker.  But the punter in the 5th, he was freaking awesome, and I have no problem with that.

You take a guy in the 5th, hoping he can help out on special teams.  Or you take a 9 time All Pro punter.
