How could Pac man Jones be in the top 5 overall and not be #1 in the DB category. I dont think (this could be a bad stament) Smith or Rodgers will be great. I guess it depends who drafts them and so on. Time will tell

I have been looking at a bunch of mock drafts, and I do not remeber seeing Mike Nugents name. Any idea on what round he will be taken? I know we have #4 and he has been a great Lion, however he is getting a little older. If nugent is still around in the 3rd or 4th round you think the Lions may take him? I never thought I would put these words in the same sentence but Mikle Nugent from Ohio state is the man, among kickers.(cringe from "theman" and Ohio State in the same sentence).

any relation to to Ted?

Jason still has a few good years. I don't see us carrying two kickers. That always seemed like a waste to me, but other teams do it. I think we will get a kicker when we need one, not before.




I hope not. If he is, I don't want him on my team. Ted is a major league wacko

Sorry, Nugent's a late-second, early-third rounder. He was just as impressive as Nate Kaeding at the Senior Bowl this year, and his draft position should reflect Kaeding's.
