What team picks #1 in 2006?

oakland is wretched and cleveland is jinxed- i'll say oakland.

i also have oakland to try to announce they are moving back to LA next year.
 
Wouldn't be surprised to see the Niners there again. I think Crennel will keep the Browns out of it, as will decent QB play the Titans. Not that either won't be bad, but they won't be picking first. And guys, seriously, if Denver are picking first it's with Washington's pick not their own. Why should they fall away so badly from last season? Ok, so their division's toughened up a bit, but Bell is a better RB than Droughns, their o-line is still intact and they have a solid D. What gives?
 
Well now my current vote is for Denver or Washington. Washington's offense just doesn't seem to exist. Defensively Aarington is still out. I know they have good corners I just can't name them. Denver is well they are Denver and right now ........they could use a :challenge
 
Here are the leading contenders so far (in no particular order):

Houston (0-2)
Green Bay (0-3)
Arizona (0-3)
Oakland (0-3)
Baltimore (0-2)

Those not in contention:

Miami (Told you, beerlover ;) ).

I'm not too proud to say the fish have really surprised me, but even though their records don't reflect it I like the direction of the 49ers and Browns more for the future-Huge. last time I checked the Dolphins still have to play 13 more games including twice Buffalo Bills & New England Patriots plus a couple pretty good teams the Tampa Bay Buccaneers & Atlanta Falcons

As a matter of fact how about a freindly wager on Nov. 20 when the Dolphins visit Cleveland :cool:
 
You guys need to wake up. The Texans will have the first pick in next years draft which is a good thing, because you all have a lot of holes to fill.

starting QB
2nd and 3rd WR
an O-Line
a D-Line
a few Linebackers
a kicker
 
[Napoleon Dynamite] Heck yes! [/Napoleon Dynamite]

Non-winner (there are no "losers" here :) ) buys the drinks for the other at the first tailgating meeting? :party:

If anybody else is out there, pay attention to this guy. As a Bengals fan, I'm sure he has more experiencing drafting first overall than any of us combined.

I think the Dolphins win 7 games myself. They have the defense. They added the RB that they were lacking last year. I think Feeley won't be that bad with an actual rushing attack. They have solid receiving targets in Chambers, Booker, and McMichael. Their O-line is still a liability but I think Saban brought in a couple of guys to help.

I agree with Huge. I said this back on May 11th.

Define "pay attention". I read it, clicked on the [Remove Post From Memory] button in my brain and surfed to the other sections of the forum. Does that count?

Bengals - in league for over 30 years

Texans - in league for 3 (4?) years

So of course we have been able to draft 1st overall more then the Texans, because we have been in the league a lot longer.

The Bengals have only drafted 1st overall 3 times (94,95,03) which isn't alot considering we've been in the league since 1968.

but have many times have you had a top 10 pick? :tv:
 
So washington has lucked up and won 3 games....though still wont make the playoffs they wont have the #1 pick either now. Denver aint looking all that bad suprisingly.

I must admit I just see it very hard for Houston not to have the#1 pick next year. I see us trading out for the leinhart sweepstakes and then drafting the top OL and hopefully picking up an extra 2nd or 3rd.
 
I hate to disappoint you, but I think the Texans are going to do just enough the rest of this season to hurt their drafting position. Before it is all said and done, I think we win 5-6 games.

i think 5 is tops... i think 4 is more realistic. Unless something drastically happens soon

I'm standing by 8 wins and the 18th overall pick in the 2006. the last thing I wish for is the Texans to fail just so we can get a better draft slot, and I'd love to get one of the elite talents to come to Houston. I know this season has not gone according to plan but it is far from over.

this will also avoid the frustration concerning drafting in regards to expectations, if we focus on the 15-20 window instead of a top 5 pick we not only understand more of the players and talent out there we could be pleasently surprised in an otherwise unpleasent season.

there should be a couple really good tackles left including the one I still like the best at this point in the season, Andrew Whitworth LSU this guy would start at left tackle for the Texans as a rookie, he's talented, experienced, with a clean bill of health, excellent character & is a hard worker :texans:

GBN-
Of course, there are still months to go before the final order for the 2006 is set, however, several of today’s games will have an impact on how things do ultimately shake out at the top of next April’s draft board. For starters, both of the still winless teams have winnable games later today. Green Bay at 0-4, for example, is at home to New Orleans, while THE 0-3 TEXANS ARE at home to Tennessee, which had the 6th pick at the 2005 draft. Meanwhile, Chicago, which had the 4th pick last April, will be at Cleveland, which selected 3rd; both teams are currently 1-2 meaning the winner will have two wins already. Elsewhere, Miami which picked 2nd overall last April, but is 2-1 to date, will be at Buffalo which is struggling at 1-3. Indeed, the Bills are expected to start veteran journeyman Kelly Holcomb at QB ahead of 2004 first rounder J.P. Losman. Two other 1-3 teams – Oakland and Minnesota – have byes today, while three other 1-3 clubs – San Francisco, the Jets and Arizona – are at home but in tough. The 49ers, for example, will start QB Alex Smith, the #1 pick overall this year when they host Indianapolis, but will have to defend Peyton Manning with a decimated secondary, while Arizona hosts Carolina and the Jets will be home to unbeaten Tampa Bay.
 
shows what I know, the Texans not only embarrassed themselves they've managed to embarrass the fans :embarrass

this is like a bad dream, what the hell happened to the Texans? I've been refusing to believe they are this bad like a good :homer: but the evidence is overwhelming, the Texans now have the 1st overall pick in the 2006 draft if the draft where tomorrow...is this the 5 year plan?

Please point out the ones that you think we will win. I see two as of right now. If the OL actually protects then I can change my mind. I pick Cleveland and SF as possible wins, but who knows. Alex Smith might have settled in by Jan so maybe we will just beat Cleveland. Again just show which ones you think are close matchups.
 
The Browns have Romeo so dont count them out. However we play Baltimore this year and they look down on their luck so maybe....
 
I mean I look back at this post thread and NONE of us ever believed we would be in contention for this pick.

I think if we lose sunday we pretty much locked up the #1 pick. If we win we still have a chance of not having it.

My issue that nobody is playing as bad as we are overall. Our offense looks horrible and our defense is ranked very close to last. Haven't heard a thing about ST. Every dog has its day (except for the 76 bucs.) So I believe we gotta win something.

Looking at the schedule though I think Seattle b/c they are so incosistent, SF and CLE are our best chances. CLE and SEA are maybes and we should beat the noners but whoooo knows. :brickwall
 
I guess it's safe to say nobody came close to predicting the right answer for this thread.
 
actually if you look a few posts above, rittenhouse picked us at 2-14, with one of our wins being cleveland....he replaces san francisco with arizona and he is a prophet
 
On October 11th, we were 0-4 and had just lost to Tennessee at home. That's when a lot of us knew that this season was a total bust.
