Found this post on another board from a guy who found it on another board lol. I thought it was interesting and worth sharing. I take no credit or blame...

Here are the last 14 years worth of picks at the #23 spot in the NFL draft - gives a lot of perspective on trading the pick for Brandin Cooks

2017 – Evan Engram . WR NYG : One of best; 64 rec.722 yards; 6 TDs
2016 – Laquon Treadwell . WR . MN -- 21 Rec 215 yards in 2 yrs; not good
2015 – Shane Ray . DE Denver - 3 wrist surgeries - not much
2014 – Dee Ford . DE . KC - undistinguished career - most backup
2013 Sharrif Floyd DT - 9 sack - nerve damage to knee
2012 Riley Reiff OT several teams - middle of pack LT's last yr with MN
2011 Danny Watkins OG . Philadelphia - never played more than a few games
2010 Bryan Bulaga OT Green Bay - up and down - oft-injured
2009 Michael Oher OT Balt. - concussions ended career early '16; 2 good yrs
2008 R. Mendenhall RB 6 yrs; 3 ~ 1000 yds but 4 yd avg best - 3 not good
2007 Dwayne Bowe WR KC Chiefs - very good
2006 Davin Joseph . G . Tampa Bay - good career with Bucs - 2 Pro Bowls
2005 Fabian Washington CB Oakland - 6 yrs - so-so career
2004 Marcus Tubbs DT Seattle - very few games and washed out



#HelmetHornsMatter

“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.

“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
