All the hours and hours of preparation that go into Draft Day sometimes can blow up in your face. Luck can be your best friend on Draft Day._
Having joined the Houston Oilers in the fall of 1994, we inherited a team that was the worst in the league. But in the ’95 draft, we had the third overall pick, as the top two picks went to the expansion teams in Carolina and Jacksonville. After countless hours of studying, dissecting and sometimes arguing over which direction to go with our first pick, we decided QB Steve McNair from Alcorn State was our guy._

Because certain people in our organization were too loose with their public praise of McNair, it was no secret that we were planning to take him.
