Did we get him in the first or something and when did we get him??

Yeah we drafted him in 1996 with the #30 pick in the first round.

He spent his first year inactive and then they cut him in his second training camp.

What idiot GM made that pick I can't remember? Maybe Casserly.

Chad Rinehart is Andre Johnson reincarnated (Just not drafted quite as high).

I pray that you are mistaken.

Me too...we took Rinehart way before others teams would have as he was set to go in the 5th or 6th rd. If he really busts there should be a major overhaul to the FO cuz a totally wasted 3rd pick is inexcusable.

...btw I see the Rinehart situation as a reason for actually trying to trade up from our later rd picks (and keeping our 13 overall). Vinny drafts projects mostly beyond round 2, and those projects usually don't become anything.

In Vinny's defense (a position I rarely take), I think this is true for most teams. Put differently, if you are not a project in some way, you almost always go in the first two rounds. And projects often fail.

Sadly, if we stopped drafting from a school every time we got a bust like Andre Johnson, we'd have almost no one left to draft from outside of Millsaps College.

Andre Johnson, tackle from Penn St., 1st round 1996, 30th overall pick, according to Nfl.com.

Has anyone checked to see if there are any prospects from Millsaps?
