HOUSTON HOLDS FIRST PICK IN 2006 DRAFT; NEW ORLEANS & TENNESSEE CHOOSE NEXT
The Houston Texans will make the first choice of the 2006 National Football League Draft on April 29-30 at Radio City Music Hall in New York
City. The order of the 2006 Draft was announced Monday by the NFL.
The Texans' choice will be followed by the New Orleans Saints picking second and Tennessee Titans third.
Draft-order ties are resolved by the cumulative record of each team's opponents. The team with the weaker opponents receives drafting priority.
Within a tied segment, non-playoff clubs are given priority over playoff clubs. Priority of playoff clubs within a tied segment will be based on their advancement in the playoffs, but they will not drop out of their tied segment unless they participate in the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl champion will select 32nd and the runner-up 31st.
