Quote:Geno Smith was told he'd be drafted in the first round last year. 

 

Players are told a lot of things. 

Didn't Geno wind up firing his agent because he wasn't drafted first overall?

 

Quote:Thats a pretty wide range. 

No it's not. 16-35, are you kidding? Do you know how many guys come into the draft being told that they're somewhere between 2nd and 4th-round stock, or 5th-7th?

 

Quote:The fact that he wound up being a 1st round pick still amazes me.

Teblow was drafted by a coach who, in retrospect, shared one fatal flaw with Gene Smith--he had to be the smartest guy in the room, and he had to feel like it, so he was prone to reaching on mediocre talent just to prove everyone wrong.

 

Quote:Please let the Texans take him #1! That'd be amazing!

Indeed. Bob McNair might just fire the entire new regime on the spot.
