Draft misses are what happens in the NFL, it's not unique to the Patriots. What is important is how the team is now, and short of a second safety, we have an excellent secondary.
That they happen in the NFL doesn't excuse the fact that the Pats missing at one single position and having to spend draft capital on it in literally every draft since 2004 has caused the decline in the defense that we currently see today. And that's just in the secondary without having to pull names like Ron Brace or Tyrone McKenzie for good measure. Blaming the failures of the front office on Brady as a reason why the team hasn't won a Super Bowl since 2004 seems awfully unfair to Brady considering the defenses that he's had to drag into the playoffs during many of those years.
