 Re: Day 3 targets
Really?!?!?! A punter in the 5th round? They could have taken one at the end of the 7th, priority UDFA, or wait until cuts started happening. Unbelievable!

 Re: Day 3 targets
You expected a different reaction from wjb? Are you new here?
Wjb, you complained more about Harris than anyone last season.

 Re: Day 3 targets
Can't believe the Lions feel their roster is so well stocked that they can waste a pick on someone that kicks the ball.

Wjb, you complained more about Harris than anyone last season. I can't stand Harris, but we already signed a punter and we could have picked one up later. We have much more pressing needs on this team that could have been addressed with some solid talent here.

 Re: Day 3 targets
How many 5th round picks have panned out for this team? It's not like you're missing out on some excellent player. It's a crapshoot developmental player who likely wont see a piss worth of PT, or you could take the player at a position of need...unless you think that guy from the CFL is going to be good.

DaRick Rodgers or Swope would have been much better picks. We picked some jackass punter from App St. that was projected to be a UDFA in the 5th round, with some pretty damn good talent on the board.

We have enough offensive options that I am not concerned about #2 WR. We do have Broyles who will be back. We do have Burleson who will be back. Oh that's right. You want Burleson gone.

 Re: Day 3 targets
i think they really needed a punter, this guy they drafted came into the facility so it sounds like the lions researched him pretty well. alternatively they may have locked in on him and not looked at other players. IMO Brad Wing from LSU has really great talent but maybe bc of some character issues the Lions didnt even bother. I havent seen the guy we got play but I agree with the need, probably early though. We still havent added a WR or OLB but im sick of seeing nick harris and that australian bum we had

 Re: Day 3 targets
The Vikes took a Punter already in the round and a Kicker went on the next pick. Seems like other teams also thought it was a good time to go special teams.
