I read that Belichick became a secondary coach after being a special teams coach, and it didnt go so well, the CBs didn't listen to him, etc.

I think he has a complex against them now

Look at the teams the Patriots have played, the Colts played a CB who was three days off the street to go against Moss. The Jets had aging Ty Law, Hank Poteat and a 4th rounder (Lowery).

CB is the new RB, unless there is a total stud it is not worth a 1st round pick.

You're forgetting the Jets traded up to get Darrelle Revis in

the first round in 2008.

ugh, i really hope they do not take another TE in the first round. id rather trade our 2nd acquired from San Diego and attempt to obtain Winslow

Main teem needs:

CBs
OL (RT)
OLB (vrabel is getting old)

ILBs are set for the future, Mayo and Guyton
Safeties are set, Sanders and Merry
QB is set, O'Connell
Welker is young still, the DL has a few more years

CB is far and away the top need

Why is that?

Ty Law was on the roster when Belichick took over the team and

was released before the 2005-2006 season. Asante Samuel was

drafted in 2003 in the 4th round and Ellis Hobbs in 2005 in the 3rd

round. The only significant free agent signing was Ty Poole in

2003. Ty Poole was a pretty good player until he started having

injury problems.

They have not used a 1st rouder, made a trade nor singned a significant free agent on CB, OT, FB and of course QB.

They have used 1st rounders on O-linemen, which counts for OT

FB isn't even a real position
Using a 1st rounder on a HB counts for that

QB they had bledsoe when they started and then brady was a fluke

If you're going to get silly about grouping, they have used first rounders on safeties, which counts for DB.

Time for you to get back to the video games...

Actually, the Patriots traded a 3rd round pick for Duane Starks in a 5th round pick back..

However, Starks was injured all the time and wasn't very good, though the trade looked solid at the time
