Who do you count as middle-class talent that the Pats drafted? Who do you count as middle-class talent that came in in other ways?
Everybody's definition of the term differs a bit, but I'd guess you'll find only a minority was drafted.
If you add draftees, UDFAs, and young players who arrived after not accomplishing anything for the teams that drafted them, then you'd have a pretty awesome list. But if you look just at the use of picks, I don't think I was understating it in my references to starters, contributors, backup QBs, and so on.
But you did, you refuse to look at the use of picks via trades.
