Tampa was dumb for making that move, but the thing is, having Aguayo ranked that high / as some "best kicker in years" prospect was a pretty widespread consensus. Even among some basic standards of kicker evaluation, it just didn't make sense.
It's actually pretty funny that we can debate whether he or Hackenberg was a worse pick that year, because they're both players who were quite obviously even to a layman (or someone who could look up their basic statistics) the product of hype.
