From the episode

I'm having this weird PTSD year over year about JSN that I had about James Cook last year where everybody, all these really smart people in the industry, my colleagues, my friends even, can't draft James Cook... I had James Cook everywhere last year and I was very happy I did because he came at such a discount.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Cook's discount last year proved wise; similar skepticism about JSN unfounded.

Pisapia uses James Cook as a historical comparison to JSN's current market discount; he notes that last year everyone in the industry couldn't draft Cook due to concerns about touchdown repeatability, but Pisapia had Cook everywhere and was very happy with the discount, suggesting the market was overreacting to coordinator/scheme changes that didn't materially diminish Cook's value.
