There is no such thing as Pick 23, in this sense---you can't pretend that there were never other options or that different teams would NOT have done it differently. .
That isn't what has been said.
The list simply pointed out who was drafted at 23.
That's not true. It was titled "perspective" and the point of doing 23 was to compare Cooks to what the Rams could have gotten at 23. So either the post has a bad and misleading title ("perspective" ) or I read it right. In relation to that, I do not assume the post has a misleading title.
My point is simple and if you think about it, obvious.
Listing the 23rd pick from various years does NOT give you perspective on the Cooks trade because doing it that way ignores the fact that a range of choices is always available at the 23rd pick. Given that I assume the Rams would have drafted someone good. So for me, defending the Cooks trade does not entail claiming that usually you don't get anyone of value at 23. I assume they would have.
And another person who reads it the same way is Rams81, below. He reads it the same way and just draws the opposite conclusion I do. [
ramsrule.com] He (to me) also makes the mistake of acting like there were never other options at pick 23.
