Kicker generation was too high and has been turned down, it's only the probability that a kicker is created. The 0.3.1 engine has them turned back up a hair; there is no correlation between the number of kickers (or any position) and the quality of the players in the draft.
If you ever have a league where there are no available kickers or punters in late free agency let me know, I will add kickers/punters to get enough in the league. I have been trying to find the balance for having enough kickers and punters without having too many, so am still searching for it.
