PatsWickedPissah said:Good analysis, consistent with BB's philosophy. We DO know that being human, sometimes they do a poor job of evaluating draftable talent. In 2000, Brady was the only keeper - in effect we spent our entire draft on him. 2001 was marginally better.
I cannot think of many drafts by any team that turned out better than spending the enitre draft on Tom Brady. (Thats not accurate either, we got SB contributions from some of the other picks too)
2001 was 'marginally better'?
How many teams found the best DL in the NFL, and their long term future at one of the most impoirtant spots on the field (LT) in one draft? Both were key ROOKIE contributors to a Championship.
Again other players in that draft class contributed.
That not many players are left from 5 and 6 year old draft classes is far from unusual.
