Re: Borges:Bill Belichick saves dough by piling up low picks
Better and a tad more positive than most..
Off of what he did on the first day of this year’s annual NFL Lottery, maybe Belichick should have been put in charge of handing out the TARP money by President Obama. He would not only have known where all that bailout money went, but he would have made sure it wasn’t wasted on bonuses to guys not all that likely to ever earn them.

No, actually it was a rational analysis of what Bill did to inadvertently piss off that segment of his fanbase that is usually pissed off no matter what he does...and why he did it.
Re: Borges:Bill Belichick saves dough by piling up low picks
Saving money I thought was a good thing...no??? And value....but somehow going for a value is cheap to some...missing teh point and that saving money in one area like this (while getting needs and players) only means that a team has EXTRA money to spend elsewhere...If that is a negarive....
Re: Borges:Bill Belichick saves dough by piling up low picks
I hate Borges' writing as much as the next guy but this seems to be a positive article for once. Seems like he's saying that they could have gotten the same talent in the twenties as he did in the thirties and forties while saving the first round money.
Re: Borges:Bill Belichick saves dough by piling up low picks
To be honest, I don't understand the hatred for Borges... he's a writer. He doesn't work for my favorite football team. Therefore, he doesn't bother me.
No one is lower on Borges than I, but that's a great article and it's positively glowing about Belichick. I think sometimes we tend to assume and project the negative when it's not there, especially with a d-bag like Borges. In this case that's neither fair nor accurate - ditto on a lot of the replies in this thread.

Value, talent & depth as opposed to overpaying for less then they got had they stood pat. The two moves combined enabled them to grab 34, 40 & 41 - looks like talent right there in those picks to me. I love Butler, Chung and never even thought of Brace ofr one second, but I sure like what I read.
Re: Borges:Bill Belichick saves dough by piling up low picks
I can't stand Borges either, but there was nothing bad in this article at all. If anything he is giving BB credit for being prudent and getting value for the money in his picks.
Borges was right on the money with this analysis. I haven't been a fan in the past, but I saw no distortion attempts to bend the facts in an axe-grinding mode. More importantly, I interpreted it as a compliment to BB and the Patriots draft planning personnel.
