That is all.

This team would have 2 more SB trophies if they could draft some decent offensive players. Very sad.

Yeah the offense has really been a problem

I don't like Watson at all, but this is the best offense in the league, common.

Four offensive players the Patriots drafted went to the Pro Bowl for them last season.

Watson has regressed to a sad level. Watson, Jackson, Maroney. It's not happening. I want some OL and defense, our skill player drafting just isn't there since, who, Branch ?

True. Scott Pioli, in his entire tenure with the Patriots, has only drafted two wide receivers who made it into the record books.

What a loser.

Why do people ignore Welker and Moss when they talk about "bad drafting?" We pretty much drafted them with a 2nd, a 4th and a 5th. That's as good as anyone can hope to do. Not to mention the OL they've drafted is pretty damn good when healthy.

Yes, TE is a glaring weakness on offense, but there isn't a team in the league without some kind of offensive weakness.

It's semantics to distinguish between players that were "drafted" and those acquired on draft day. We got two of the best WR in the league for nothing higher than a 2nd.

this is a great argument but i think the large argument is using a draft pick on watson when yoou could have used another defensive player namely a linebacker

we certainly could have used one in the colts afc championship game
