The point being that these weren't shocking draft picks.
I don't know who peruses the draft thread, but rest assured that guys like Achane and Raimann has loud backers over there. Obviously Pickens as well. These are guys who were people that were highly regarded by us normies over there.
Meanwhile Cook, a guy who projected as a box safety, was a strange pick from the instant it was made. The Moore Wars are well established.
I'm not killing him for not grabbing Kittle, for instance. And he deserves credit for a guy like Snead that many of us were NOT on.
But let's not act like these would've been off the wall picks out there. These are guys who looked at the time like they would've been damn good picks and we just didn't make 'em...
I didn't go discussing the best guys out of each 'missed' spot - just the ones where I know we had extensive conversations about them in the draft forum and they had pretty loud backers.
