Holmgren was on record from the beginning that McCoy was his pick.

Ok. I'll take your word for it. I must have overlooked that comment somewhere.
At DT, context and meaning are a scarecrow kicking at moving goalposts.

You're right. It doesn't lend itself in identifying which player they were referring to, at least in the NFL.com article. Actually, I meant to ask this initially-- I wasn't sure anything existed discussing Holmgren choosing McCoy. I thought all the information available was in regards to 2012. Out of curiosity, where did you see that?
Oh that, that was an interview that Holmgren gave that confirmed it after the draft..
Here is confirmation

See, this is what I'm talking about when it comes to proving. This article leaves no doubt that Holmgren pushed Heckert to take McCoy.
The thing is, he probably did the same thing with Weeden. There just isn't this kinda clear proof of it.
