From the first three rounds from 2006-2009, only four of 14 draftees are still with the team. One of the four is Ron Brace. To me this is a pretty
poor drafting record. Belichick is better at signing middle tier free agents.
Interesting that you leave out 10-11 where 9 of 10 are still here, and at least 6 will be starters.
How many of the picks from 06-09 were trade downs?
Going back to 2006 is not realistic because very few players stay on the same team 6 years after being drafted, but I know why you did that. 2007 is also silly to include because they had 1 pick in those 3 rounds. We do still have the guy who had the 19th best season ever by a WR last year with a 2nd from that draft though.
So really we are down to 2 years where 100% of the 1st are still here. 60% of the 2nds are still here with 2 of the 3 starting, and we missed on a bunch of 3rds. Hardly poor.
