Finally here.

Now we just wait a few hours to see what commercial is played once the Texans are on the clock.

(I like to re-use this joke most every year.)

It's not a joke.

Maybe they'll play that Sprint one.

With the 25th pick in the NFL draft, the Houston Texans select.....T.J. Watt, LB, Wisconsin. The Seahawks are on the clock.

Later, Rick Smith explains the choice was an obvious one because of the family ties, the great work ethic and because the Texans *have* to get to Peyton Manning.

In retrospect, there have been many Texans picks where I would have much preferred to watch the commercials.

You mean like the year we picked the wrong Johnson? Derrick is still playing for the Chiefs. How many years has Travis been out of the NFL now?

That was a draft day boner so egregious that the organization was left with a terminal case of blue balls. Deep steel blue, surely.

Totally out of left field but I am seeing rumblings that CLE might be trading up to #5 so they can spin it to NE for Jimmy G. NE has already said no to #12 so it would have to be someone they know would be gone by pick 11.

The first guy I thought of was McCaffrey. Can you imagine him in the Pats system?

I remember yelling at the TV. I also wanted Clay Matthews over Brian Cushing and complained we drafted the wrong Trojan.

I'm hoping for that Toyota "You don't own me" commercial they played 10 million times every TNF/SNF/MNF game last year. Can never get enough of that commercial.
