Who was the first Oiler/Texan you watched get drafted?

This explains why I feel like we agree on posts a lot... Except the Cowboys part, gross, I was Packers (Favre...oops) and Browns (Mom's family)...

 

Big fan of 22 growing up. I rarely admit that though. You wouldn’t find anyone who hates them more now.

 

Like manu others Derek Carr, but distinctly recall Dunta Robinson and Amobi Okoye. I thought both were destined for greatness

 

To be fair Dunta was a stud until that horrible injury

 

I can remember riding in the carpool on my way to school, the morning after the draft and hearing on the radio they drafted Munchak. I also remember being in awe of Joel Buschbaum's knowledge whenever he came on the radio.

 

I love how he pronounced Dextah Cawtah's name.

 

Lamar Lathon was my favorite pick. 1990. Lathon was the OG. I had just graduated high school and was starting out in life. He was a local kid and my favorite draft story. It coincided as I was headed off to school that year. Such a memory.

Cushing was my favorite Texans pick. It sicks they the Oilers left. This feels like two different things. Oilers and Texans; mainly I guess, because it is.

I remember where I was the moment AJ80 was drafted. I was mowing the yard and watching the draft. It took me forever to mow that day. AJ80 was who I wanted. That was an awesome day too.

I think the first pick that I ever remember: I was like age 11 and it was Bo Eason. I remember Steinkuhler and Matthews but I was like 60 pounds and I liked football cards and Lineman got no stats, no stats at all, on the back of their cards. So Bo Eason became my coolest pick. Bo freaking Eason. Lathon, my all time favorite. Eason my first memory of the draft.

 

LB: When was that?
