Over at SI.com, Dr. Z hands out his final draft grades. Only three teams received an A grade:
- Denver — “there’s going to be more firepower in the air over Denver than the RAF threw at the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain.”
- New Orleans — “Congratulations for not blowing the Reggie Bush pick.”
- Arizona — “now they’ve got Matt Leinart and a really terrific stud guard from the USC offensive machine, Deuce Lutui, and Leonard Pope, a gigantic 6-7 1/2 TE who can really motor.”
How’d my Houston Texans fair? Need you even ask? They were the last rated team, with a very generous D grade (Dr. Z didn’t hand out any F’s. I’m not sure why not.):
He [Texans' owner Bob McNair] knows, we know, everyone knows, this was a bum deal all around for the folks in Houston.
Yep. The best quote I heard all weekend was something to the effective of this being a perfect case for extending the drug testing policy to the head offices of NFL teams.
I have already vowed to purchase a Vince Young Titan’s jersey to wear to every single home game next year (The Titans — before they were the Titans — were the Houston Oilers. The team I grew up with. My first love, if you will. And now, they’re once again my favorite team. Fuck the Texans. At least the Titans play the Texans twice a season, so I’ll get to see them at least once a year.
Come on Robbie… I feel your pain, I grew up an Oliers fan as well… we have to at least give Kubiak a chance to right this wayward ship.
By the way, do you go anywhere here in Austin to watch the away games?
