I honestly don't think so. He wasn't saying Belichick was infallible; that's obviously nonsense, we all know plenty of mistakes to point to. But it's just as obvious that fallibility is inevitable in the guesswork that is the draft.
So my understanding of what he said was that if he had to have somebody to make a draft pick for the Patriots he'd want BB to be the one to do it, and that any of us who think that substituting our own judgment would produce better rosters overall, over time, are kidding ourselves.
Given that the Patriots just went to the Superbowl with 95% roster turnover from their first championship team, that seems like a pretty fair statement.
If that's what he meant, you said it a lot better, have you ever considered being a writer?
