This is an interesting tidbit from Peter King's most recent MMQB...
Quote:
The Rams sat at 22. They wanted Ogletree and were reasonably confident he'd be there at 22. But they'd been talking with Houston, at 27, and Atlanta, at 30, about moving down to recoup some of what they'd lost to pick up Austin. Their fallback guy was UCLA defensive lineman Datone Jones, and if both were gone, they'd take Kentucky guard Larry Warford. As bravely as they talked about Warford, though, picking him in the first round would be a big loss.
Demoff laid out the options. "We can go to 30 and get a three and seven from Atlanta, or we can go to 27 and get a four and six from Houston,'' Demoff said.
"Or we can stay and just pick Ogletree,'' Snead said.

After looking back and seeing who got drafted between picks #22-#27, I'm glad the Texans didn't do that deal because I'm 99.999% certain they still would've drafted Hopkins.
