Motor City Madman?

Is Nugent a kicker? I haven't followed college ball or the scouting web sites much this year. PK is a problem for us and has been for like 4 years but I think a 3rd rounder is too high to spend on a kicker. If you've got a bunch of multi picks in the round or if you've got a team with no-few holes or if you've got a first rounder, then yes. But our #3 is basically our #2 and kicker isn't a big enough need (because of the position) to go that high. I'd rather look for a veteran free agent (but not so old that his kickoffs come down at the 25 yard line). A kicker ain't gonna make more than $800K anyway.

The Bucs released Martin Gramatica a few weeks ago and the Colts are using him just for kickoffs. He's struggled this year but the guy has been a Pro Bowler and I think he's still in his 20s. Maybe he's our man.

I hope that Gramatica will become The Giants kicker next year.

ya strider i kinda agree with you, i was just curious because this guy is good

here is a scouting analysis from nfldraftcountdown.com:

strengths: very experienced having started four years for the buckeyes....Has a strong leg for attempts 50+ yards and beyond.....has the nerve to make big clutch kicks.....consistent and will go on long streaks without missing....can also kickoff.

weaknesses: Doesnt have great size but there are many kickers with slight frames.....can still fine tune his mechanics and technique.

notes: elite kicking prospect with day one potentiol....actually a bettter prospect then nate kaeding, who was an early 3rd rounder in 2004....was amzing as a senior and really improved his stock


he sounds really good but again like strider said we dont have enough picks to pick a kicker, especially with all our holes some of these guys will be immediate backups next year

this site had us picking adam terry, in the 3rd round and this guy soundss pretty good as well :think: a lt who is stronger at pass blocking then run blocking, ofcourse i would much rather sign someone good to play lt, especially because it is such a difficult position to play in the nfl and it would be tough for a rookie to start.

The projections are usually way off in the later rounds. Plus, if the guy is any good, he'll make a move towards first round status come the combines.

Nugent is the best kicker in the draft, but we have other problems
