Good read.
The Cook, Palmer, and Billups examples make sense but the 90s drafting shouldn't be lumped in with the "what ifs" because in my mind the 90s drafting was every bit as terrible as you can expect from a guy with no business calling the shots who refuses to get help. Maybe I'm using hindsight. Maybe when Paul Brown died and Mike Brown decided he was an owner and GM rolled into one people were like "Yeah, I bet he is!"
