As others have said, one week to Draft Day, this thread is right on schedule.
Belichick seems to like having a lot of picks and using them rather than trading a couple to move up. His logic seems to be that, since anybody you draft, whether in the first or sixth round, could turn out to be great or a complete bust, the more you pick, the better your odds.
I guess there could be an exception to that if the Pats had a crappy season and were already in the top ten and there were a once in a generation talent like J J Watt on the board or they needed a QB and there was consensus on one of the top candidates. But, I don't see that happening anytime soon.
