ESPN had an article about how well the Texans have drafted. Most of us will roll the eyes and disagree, but stats are stats.

"With the help of ESPN Stats & Info, our Kevin Seifert examined how many players on each team's roster were drafted by that team. Only five teams have more -- the Bengals, Packers, Vikings, Patriots and 49ers. Twenty-eight members of the Texans' roster were drafted by the team."

I'm of the opinion that all GM's are blind squirrels to some degree, as is everyone that is in a hiring position. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. It happens. With the amount of time, effort, and money they put into this stuff you'd think they'd be more accurate, but none of them are. More hits than misses is the key to keeping your job as a GM.

Or, in Smith's case, having some sort of dirty laundry on the McNair's.......

I agree, we are building our team thru draft better than most teams. Which means most teams draft even worse than texans.
