Who said that? The off-season just started. They will get another one. His drafted kicker blew the PAT and cost them a championship.

Shanahan took the points twice in the Superbowl.
Moody really had a good season for a rookie, but the kicks he did miss in several cases ended up being the difference in some losses.

Finding kickers is hard. Even if you want to go out and get a good kicker, you might not get one The Lions screwed up when they let Prater go and they have actively been searching for a kicker for three years. They haven't been riding with at Money Badger at all, he was on practice squad in December.

I'd argue that while kicker isn't a high priority, it makes the list this year over many other needs and we should use a draft choice to try to improve the position. -- especially considering that there are several particularly good ones available.
Last year, the needs list was extensive and kicker was way down the list in priority. Now, our needs list is mostly about depth, so upgrading a starting kicker from below-average to at least average is higher on the list.
Here's my off the top of my head needs list:
- Starting Corner, preferably CB1
- IOL depth or possibly starter (for Jackson)
- Edge rusher, preferably multi-down
- Kicker
- WR rotation player, preferably with size and speed
- OT & DT depth
- RB & TE depth (practice squad guys)
- QB3 & Safety depth
This list is also why I think there's a chance that Holmes would bid big for Sneed. Sign him, and then the draft lets us use higher picks to fill all the other needs. It would have a real domino effect on improving our team.

I think Sneed is getting tagged, because the tag on Jones would be 32 million. Most likely they get a deal done with Jones then tag Sneed.
At this point I think the ideal FA would be something like this
Resign Jonah Jackson
Josh Reynolds
Sign Kendall Fuller CB
Jonathan Greenard DE
Will Lutz K
Then possibly depending on where they stand on the cap bringing back Glasnow OR Kevin Zeitler (if avail) on a 2 year deal?
Then going into the draft get IOL, CB, DL in some combination in the first three picks
2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J. Coleman QB 7b) Kewshan Martin WR

Decent chance that Badgely or Patterson would be available if the rookie wins the competition in TC and falls on his face.
Besides, I think Badgely is already a rollercoaster. I hold my breath on every FG & extra point.

Originally posted by Mainevent View PostWhile the result there would be pretty good on the field I can’t see them paying for a top G, CB and DE. Those guys are all looking to cash in. Greenard in particular seems poised to get a big deal.
I think Fuller will be the choice at CB. He won't get top top money and I don't think he is seeing a 5 year deal.
Zietler is interesting because his market might be limited due to his age (36). And he might be interested in Detroit for a possible SB run. Then the IOL drafts doesn't have to start from Day 1. If Ragnow retires after next year you have your Guards set and that would ease the transition for a younger center.2012 Detroit Lions Draft: 1) Cordy Glenn G , 2) Brandon Taylor S, 3) Sean Spence olb, 4) Joe Adams WR/KR, 5) Matt McCants OT, 7a) B.J.
