If other teams share the view that 23-51 are pretty much interchangeable, that is the range you want to stock up on picks.

Whether it is just being lucky and a guy you really like more than the rest falls to your pick(s).

Or

Gives you the ability to trade up to snatch a guy, you can't believe has fallen to that range

Or

Allows you to trade back and get a similar prospect a few spots later plus another pick.

This is where the scouting staff needs to earn their money and identify jewels in the rough.
