There's this other category . . . it's called playing for other teams. . . .
2011
1 Nate Solder = Patriots
2 Ras-I Dowling = Panthers (PS)
2 Shane Vereen = Giants
3 Stevan Ridley = Lions
3 Ryan Mallett = Ravens
4 Marcus Cannon = Patriots
5 Lee Smith = Raiders
6 Markell Carter = CFL
7 Malcolm Williams = out of league
Given that 2/3 of the players are still on someone's 53, I'd say that the worst you can say about this draft is that it was "solid." Yes, most of them are playing for other teams now, but you can't hold on to everyone. That's just the way the salary cap works.

3 out of the last 4 years.
It's not even being negative, it's just following recent draft patterns
That's fair, but all I'm saying is that sometimes when you see a trend happen so often the last few years before, you expect that trend to continue.3 AFFCCG appearances and a Lombardi over the same time, with teams built primarily on draft picks. Its safe to say Belichick knows a hell of a lot more about it than the idiot draftniks who constantly rip his drafts. And while I'm not saying that group includes you the griping about picks they haven't even made is one of their trademarks.

I definitely am not cropping out the picks like Gronk. All I was talking about was the safety trend, and nothing elseBut it crops out the big hits like Gronk. Look, I'm not suggesting they are perfect but they have the best track record in football overall, and that's from two long term independent studies, and they carry much more weight than the griping of the Belichick haters. Once again I'm not lumping you in with them I just don't like negativity about things that haven even occured yet.
Not only trade out but trade Down and into next year.Prediction
Pats trade out of 60 & 61 and the board goes into meltdown mode

True, to be fair it's too early to tell on Richards.
What's the trade?- DW Toys
But Harmon was a 3rd rounder..I saw it more as commentary on their second round picks.
