Mike Nugent, K, Ohio State Sr 5-9, 175
By: Andy Silvester
Undoubtedly the best kicker in this years draft, Nugent is so good he may well slip into the first day of selections.
Positives
Accurate, consistent, reliable. What more do you want out of a kicker? He can hit them anywhere up to 55 yards and when he goes on the field you know he’s going to slot it.
Negatives
He might not have a booming kick-off leg from the 30 yard mark. Neither does Vanderjagt. You do the math.
Pro Potential
A perennial all-pro kicker. Not far off the biggest sure thing in this draft, but because he’s a kicker no-one seems to care.
