The game has changed

We have all seen that what is become the most important thing that recruiters are looking for..... Elite kicking skills.
Rate those with elite kicking skills 1 to 20 and see where they go in the draft. Ball magnets that cant kick are now a thing of the past i think.

Not really.

It's a little thing called the handball. Guys like Bartel, Mitchell are by no means ELITE by foot. The value of being able to win your own ball. Have football smarts and make good decisions is seriously over rated. Of course it's no good being a pure turn over merchant but you don't have to be elite to know your limitations and make good choices with the ball. There is still nothing more important in footy IMO then being willing to put your head over the ball and no how to win it when it is in dispute both at stoppages and in general play.
