One would have thought that Dom Capers, Vic Fangio, and Charley Casserly between themselves could have figured that out before they drafted him ?

It took until his 8th season and his 5th NFL team before Babin really showed his first round value; but that's less of my point... my concern is just how the draft trade chart makes trading up so expensive. The Texans gave up a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round pick to get #27 that year. Babin proved to be a worthy target eventually, but a hefty price was paid.
