Draft 2006: Lucky Number Six?
With the draft lottery approaching, could finally regain the luck that's eluded them for the past two decades? If there ever was a year, it would be 2006. Not just because we have our best pick in a while but also because in the last two decades, the six has been a good year for draft day moves. We got lucky in 1986 and got the #2 pick (which then turned out to be tragically unlucky) and in 1996 M.L. Carr made the absolute steal of moving Samaki Walker and Eric Montross for Antoine Walker and a future pick. OK, admittedly our luck after those moves didn't work (Bias passed away, the pick we got from Dallas was Ron Mercer who was a bust) so we haven't exactly made the most out of our luck but I'd still like to think that Lady Luck will smile down on us and perhaps we'll hit the lottery and grab a top three pick in this year's draft.
