Congratulations. You just catapulted yourself into the #1 DB (and I don't mean defensive back) position ever on this board - and that covers some territory.

Look...Matt Millen played on 4 Super Bowl teams. He then became one of those analyst "experts" that decides who is a difference maker and who isn't. Then he took a giant dump on the city of Detroit for years.

the point? I have no idea what makes BB pick who he picks. I do know that the Patriots constantly field one of the better teams in the league on a year to year basis.

Guess that makes me a kool-aid drinking homer. I'll accept that. At least I get to watch some good competitive football every year.

This writer is just picking on the wrong draft. And who better to do that than someone with virtually no credibility to do so?

Couple of comments.....

People defending the Pats trade down based on this year's draft alone need to widen their view a bit. The article was talking about the past few drafts....and imo...he had a point.


Understand this also.....the Pats are who they are with a big thank you to Mr. Tom Brady also and if you all remember.....even he questioned the lack of talent at WR the year before the unbeaten regular season and "forced" management to step up to the plate.

All the Patriot talent be damned....just as the Colts wouldn't be as good as they have been without Manning, the Pats would be nowhere near as good without Brady...the only reason I state this obvious point is that there are teams in the league with better overall talent than the Pats....but they don't have Tom Brady.....so I'm sorry.....I can't drink the koolaid over our previous drafting results for the most part.

With the draft bounty coming up next year.....I really hope they use them, for a change.

Yes the Pats had a couple of bad drafts. But all things considered I believe they are still more succesful with thier draft stategy than the majority of the other teams in the league. And. While I agree that TB is the player that can make the Pats a GREAT team, they are a good team even without him. I submit into evidence 2008.

Whatever, it's a good strategy imo.

I don't really see what the fuss with the article is all about. Questioning the trade down strategy is a legitimate thing to do, no matter which side of the issue you eventually end up on.

I think people are confusing one aspect of Belichick's strategy, which is to look to drop if you've got a group of players that you like all the same and could still get one of them at a lower pick, and the other aspect of such strategy, which is to get players when you prefer a specific choice rather than one of a group. Belichick touched upon how he sees this 'value' in his interview on WEEI yesterday. Those of you who missed that might want to go to WEEI.com and take a listen.

matt williamson is a tremendous dumba$$.

I could say I'm casting a critical eye, but I'd rather just be honest about it.
