Scott Pioli: anyone notice that after he left, we started drafting better?

Crazy Patriot Guy

I've thought about that at times too. Don't get me wrong, he built some great teams here in New England. But yeah, it seems we've hit on a much higher percentage of draft picks since he moved on to KC.

SirApropos

Conversely KC had a horrible draft his first year there in 2009 and almost all their draft piks from that year are not on the team anymore. 2010 was a little better and 2011 will have to prove themselves this year.

We don't seem to be drafting the 'soft' players like before.

But hey ... Scott had a hand in the glory years so who is complaining.

tuckeverlasting

definitely noticed.

Pioli had a tremendous 2010 draft and was executive of the year.

Pioli was here for the Maroney/Chad Jackson draft year.

Then there's the Ron Brace/Darius Butler year.

Terrence Wheatley/Jonathon Wilhite/Shawn Crable year.


Those were all pretty bad years, but how do we know who was behind those picks?

All we know is that last year without Pioli, we did a fantastic job and added a lot of new starters (McCourty, Hernendez, Gronk, Spikes, Cunningham, etc)

Personally...i blame McDaniels

I like to think he was given the same confidence scarnecchia gets but only he completely blows as an evaluator of talent. What he did with the Broncos is proof enough.

You have something against Maroney, Jackson, and Tate?
