Default how to blow your draft to hell

Draft tavon wilson in the 2nd! What a joke! What the hell is going on with bb? Nail it in the first and fall flat on your face in the 2nd. Awful! By far the worst pick in this entire draft. Hello b. Taylor,and plenty of other quality guys available! SICKENING!!!

Belichick knows way more than any of us do. Remember that.

You know what popped into my intoxicated mind once the shock wore off?

Kayne West on stage at an awards show saying "George Bush hates black people".

Bill Belichick hates draft junkies.

I don't even know what to say. Despite yesterday we should get a D- for this draft. Completely ridiculous.

it is a strange one. Drafting services had him as a 6th rounder to udfa.

BB took economics. He knows game theory. You don't draft a UDFA with a 2nd round pick...you use the 2nd round pick or trade it down and then pick up that guy if you really like him with a later pick. Unless he is so sure of himself and sure that another team will take him quickly, it makes just no sense.

I don't get it.

Guss Scott part 2? but guss scott was a consensus 4th rounder or so...this guy was not.

Seriously! Why not R. Brooks or B. Taylor? Mind blowing!

I honestly don't think this is about the player, it's about maximizing what you get for the pick.

I'm usually the first to roll my eyes at fans who rant "Why did they take this guy at the bottom of the 3rd, he would DEFINITELY have been available at the top of the 5th!" Value is very, very fluid in that range. But this is a much more dramatic case.

GB traded up to #51. You have to believe that the Pats could have traded down for a future pick, even at terrible "chart value," and still drafted this player.

The most plausible explanation is that BB and Kraft had a huge fight last night and BBs departure from the team is imminent.

Thank you. It's not like tavon wouldn't be there in the 4th round. At least get value!

Head scratching time.

This isn't a reach, it's a miff. Even if he pans out, I wish a more flashy prospect would have been taken. Allen out of South Carolina looked like a perfect fit at this pick.

Tavon Wilson, Illinois, NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

I've seen this guy play. He's about the same as Trenton Robinson, except slower. A little bigger, yes. But definitely slower.

Um, I think second round DBs should be picked by someone else.

How could he have passed on Brandon Boykin? It's like Spock wetting his finger and letting it touch the metal going into the socket...the inevitable shock is so puzzling in one so manifestly bright.

Worst pick I've seen Belichick make I believe.
