Each position is given a probability for creation based on the number of each position needed to field a team; kickers are given a bonus because, usually, if a kicker is entering the pros as a kicker he's probably going to be at least at a fairly good skill level. Also, I don't want you using your RG to kick because he's the best kicker available (this isn't the 1960's we're trying to simulate!)
I haven't given it much thought since the beta testing (this was actually a pretty hot topic amongst the beta testers) but I might reduce the probability for punters and kickers to be created, because we do seem to have a plethora of available kickers in all the leagues.

My TE is kicking field goals in MFN-30 because there are only 30 kickers in the entire league. My team as well as one other are lacking a kicker. Can additional kickers be added to the free agent pool?

Ha ha wow! Is he any good?
Funny to think of a league without 2 pages of kickers.

He's decent... but I'd rather he not be kicking.

You can always do a player search for free agent kickers and convert the best guy you can find to a kicker. I started looking at having the engine create kickers and punters if the league is short but already the beta code has diverged too far from the 0.3 game engine to make this a safe update. I will probably include that in a future release, though.

I converted a TE into a back-up QB for 2 seasons, I eventually traded him. Just like the NFL some players can transition well into other positions, just as JDB has said above ^ do a player search and something may turn up, best of luck Bud.

Did a search and the best I can get is a 22/43. It will have to work for now...
