Based off career production, Babin went pretty much where he should have gone in the 2004 draft. The problem was that the majority of Babin's production came after he left the Texans. 51.5 of Jason's 64.5 sacks came after he was traded.

Here is the breakdown of the draft day trade that ended with the Texans selecting Babin at 1.27 in the 2004 draft.
I got my first neg rep on my first post for criticizing that trade

I bought a Babin custom jersey (Battle Red) before ever seeing him play. In the first game of the season, we parked in the green lot and another guy in a Babin jersey parked next to us. I thought, "What are the odds of two guys wearing Babin custom jerseys parking next to each other?" It was Babin's dad. We parked next to each other all season.

That’s a great story. I have one similar but not an NFL related. Definitely was an awesome experience regardless. Thanks for sharing.
 
Is 2 people working together a great thing?

God, I hope that’s not some weird trick question that’s flying over my head. :)

That said, I think DeMeco knows as much about the current draft board as Nick does. I’m pretty certain that DeMeco will continue to trade down. From his interview at the owner’s meeting, he see’s a “sweet spot” of players that will be available in the 3rd and 4th rounds, and he wants to stockpile those picks. I won’t be shocked if he uses both those 2nd rounders to end up with 6 or 7 3rd and 4th rounders at the end of day. QUALITY DEPTH!

I think Caserio and the scouts bring Ryans a cluster of 5-10 players that they think will be there at each pick in every rd. Ryans tells them the guys he prefers and they look further into the players tape/character/love of football etc... then come draft time it's Caserio's job to move around in the draft to get as many of the guys Ryans likes as he can get.

That's good news. But keep in mind that although the current curability rate in patients with Hodgkins Lymphoma has increased, up to 30% of those treated in the advanced stages (stages III and IV) and 5% to 10% of those in limited stages (stages I and II) of the disease, relapse. According to the studies, the relapse risk in Hodgkins Lymphoma decreases after 2 years.
 
Hey Cloak I came across an interesting article I thought you might be interested in. Apparently the NFL granted 4 mil to study hamstrings and a Packers player that was part of it, good read.

Thanks for posting. Interesting indeed. Over the years I have posted on the importance of muscle imbalance as a major factor in hamstring injuries. Most of the time it is imbalance caused between the hamstrings and the quads. In Watson's case, the article reports that it is a right and left leg imbalance. However, it is most likely that his stronger quad on that side is overpowering his weaker hamstring.......the classic imbalance within the leg.
