And if one would rather be farther back in the Draft order, just trade that first rounder to move back and with the boot maybe you'll get another Steve
Slaton type value like we did with the trade in this year college Draft ?

Well, one difference if we were 7-9 instead of 8-8 last year is that we would have been picking somewhere between 9 and 15, rather than 18. Not sure how the tie-breakers would have fallen but there is a decent chance we would have been able to draft Chris Williams (LZ said several times that the Texans were high on him and would have drafted him if given the opportunity). He then promptly had back surgery and has missed virtually the entire season. Also, with him available, we likely would not have traded back and thus, no Slaton.
