After 2 days, 17 hours and 255 selections, the 2006 NFL Draft has come to a close. Overall, the draft provided plenty of action and the Houston Texans got it all started by passing on Reggie Bush for Mario Williams. Some liked the decision, some hated it.
Matt Leinart fell, Vince Young rose (no pun intended) and the Brick gets to go home to the Big Apple.
There was no shortage of trades (nfl insider required) throughout the draft either, with most of the swaps coming on Day 1.
Scouts say that it takes up to three years to efficiently evaluate a draft. It will be awhile before we can see these players play in a live game, but I think I can speak for everyone in saying that I can’t wait for the 2006 season to get here.
