Houston Texans: Has A Team Ever LOST The #1 Overall Draft Pick In Such Dramatic Fashion?

[HacheMan]

The Houston Texans go into week 18 only needing to lose to secure the #1 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft

Instead they come to play leading the colts for a while, only to surrender the lead

But Houston isn't done yet

They score a TD with less than 1minute left, and then say "Fu¢k it, we don't want the #1 pick, let's go for a 2pt conversion to win the game!"

And they do just that lol

The successful 2pt conversion gives the Texans the win and hands the #1 overall pick to the Chicago Bears instead ?‍?

no iconic clear cut franchise changing player anyway.. not that big of a deal

Doesn't matter they taking a QB most likely Bears are not
Even if not who is so great they miss out?

 

[HacheMan]

Doesn't matter they taking a QB Bears are not

Yeah kinda does because Chicago will likely trade down with a team who will use #1 for a QB

That means Houston doesn't get their choice as they would have

Lovie definitely will not be coming back next season after this

Maybe. Is there a QB worth trading up for?

 

[Cheddar]

Bears are probably looking at a punter or long snapper. Bears will be Bears

 

[azbob]

Bears will get a big haul for that #1 pick as now every team who wants a specific QB will be giving them a call. I agree, I don't think any of the available college QB's is a sure thing. Bears need to draft Will Anderson.

 

[HacheMan]

Virtually everyone has Bruce Young going 1st

Bears obviously have Justin fields, so teams needing a QB will be throwing offers at Chicago to move up to #1

Bears will probably accept and move down taking extra picks

 

[dufflebags]

draft that hype qb throw fields in the slot ?

 

[REDEYE]

Probably the worst year you could have the #1 pick

 

[HacheMan]

draft that hype qb throw fields in the slot ?p

Probably not a bad idea lol

lol

 

[HacheMan]

I'm a bucs fan and we've lost out on great players for winning a meaningless last game and messing up draft position

Calvin Johnson was one of them

 

[Michelangelo]

Don't tell the coaches and players not to play to win.

Houston actually got better as the year progressed.

Bravo Houston.

Probably one of the dumbest teams I’ve ever watched

not only do they lose the #1, they help Indy, another division rival, go up a spot! Yes Chicago isn’t taking the QB, but they could have still traded it. So dumb, not sure of the logic here

 

[Swany]

the love of the game and all the emotions it unwinds.
They play to win, win football games not draft picks, and they only get 17 cracks at it.

 

[IMISREMEMBER]

Wonder if LOVIE said fu since he was being fired and my team is going to fight for me and I am going to try hard to win this game and not lay down.

It is not A lock that the bears are not drafting QB.
That organization is going to have to have a long discussion on if Fields has shown enough to warrant passing up a QB at 1 .

And dispite your statement even if Chicago does not go QB that’s still not going to stop another team from trading up to that spot and taking one in front of Houston .

Bottom line Houston was idiots yesterday . Just like the Jets were 2 years ago when they blew getting T Lawerence

And then Houston fires it’s coach a few hrs later .
I wonder if that had something to do with it

 

[CHOPTALK]

You guys just assume Chicago is in love with fields .

Not saying they won’t keep him but they could easily move off him if they deem Young or Stroud worthy
