David Harris Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Any takers? I dunno if this kicker or Justin Miller was our best 2nd round steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4jets Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 To be fair, Nugent had been pretty good for the Bengals until now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean Doug Jolley? I was appalled by this move when it happened. I'm surprised Nugent has had this long of a career he's never been good.

Lot K Tailgaters Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Doug Brien is the reason we got him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gangrene Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 With the rule change his percentage has nose dived on point afters but it may have been time to hang up his cleats. Was he worth a second round pick ? Clearly no. Was he a very good/great kicker for the Bengals for a long time ? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Sad that this is still a top 10 thread a day later... even sadder is that he may be the most "successful" 2nd round pick we've made in like 20 years. Only challenger to that title is David Harris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 He may be our most egregious second round pick ever. Maybe not the worst player of the group (although he turned out to be JAG, at best) but the idea that we would draft a kicker in the second round was just so abysmal that I shudder just to think of it. Kickers should be UDFAs and without checking, I would expect that most of them weren't drafted. I would like to see some stats on how many kickers (even the best of them) were drafted above the 7th round. And please don't show me a list of guys we could have drafted in his place. It will only get me depressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obrien2Toon Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 This guy was the best college kicker I've ever saw and turns out to be barely average. Now the bucs kicker from fsu is the 2nd best college kicker I've ever saw, and he looks like a bum. Wonder why the transition is hard to predict, where guys you've never heard of from small schools turn out to be the best kickers in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now its understandable that by the time Bradway had finally thrown a dart at a true superstar in the making RUSSELL WILSON, even pounding his fists on the table made everyone else in the room look at each other rolling their eyes... yea... ok Terry..Russell Wilson..ok... you do know we remember Nugent right? Russell Wilson, lol... the guy is like 5'-7" right? Hell, I think Nugent is bigger than him... room erupts in laughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited all day for a damn kicker..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
