49ers Trade Cody Pickett To Texans

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Former University of Washington quarterback Cody Pickett didn't make it in San Francisco.

Today, the 49ers traded Pickett to the Houston Texans for a conditional draft pick.

Pickett started two games for the 49ers last season, completing a franchise-low one pass in a loss to Chicago. The former rodeo cowboy from Caldwell, Idaho, and Huskies star gained his greatest notoriety from a brief stint as a special-teams player covering kickoffs and punts.

Pickett was at Washington from 1999 through 2003, playing for coaches Rick Neuheisel and Keith Gilbertson. He's the Huskies' all-time career passing leader with 10,220 yards, almost 4,000 yards ahead of number two passer Brock Huard, with 6,391.

He also holds the Huskies' all-time single-game passing mark of 455 yards and the school's single-season passing record of 4,458 yards.

I'd really like to know what 'conditional draft pick' means...

Perhaps for every ten special teams tackles Pickett takes part in, the Niners move up a round in the supplemental draft.
