I don't disagree, Patler, about getting Cook for a relatively low amount etc. Just the same, giving credit for attempts is kinda like a custom fantasy football league where they give points for carries and pass attempts - unrealistic. I see what you're saying, though. Ultimately, there is a large element of luck involved as to whether what it seems like should happen actually does happen. There actually are quite a few "wow factor" players drafted late first round and lower, even a lot lower. That's where luck comes in - either that or damn good insight, and in recent years, I haven't seen much of that from Ted.
As for Raji, I stand by every negative thing I ever said about him - drafted that high/so much expectations, and then get pushed around and handled as easily as he did, overall, he was pretty pathetic.
