Well that's all very hypothetical, but OK 2 can play that game. Suppose besides Chris Williams we also have a chance to draft Ryan Clady (who went at #12), the LT in the Draft who is playing at a P-B level in his rookie year ? Given the opportunity to take him I imagine we would have surely jumped.
As far as Slaton goes the pick was in large part dumb luck just as the 4th round pick of another Texans RB, Dominick Davis, was several years ago.
