I hear you and that is certainly one valuation that can be applied and I respect that.Box_O_Rocks said:All true enough bee, but as long as he made the roster, he was a draft success.
I guess for me, though, I look for a success to be someone who actually ended up getting a fair number of reps on the field before being let go - and Belichick wouldn't put a player out there for any significant number of reps without the player being considered fairly decent by him. For me, then, Klecko would be very marginal so far - as would Hill, Wright, and probably even Banta-Cain and if they end up getting cut before making getting much further playing time, I guess I don't consider them all that much of a success. Just my way of looking at it, I guess.
Another way to look at it, I suppose, is that a player would only be counted a 'success' if the player did not get cut or dropped by the Pats before the rookie contract is up.
As Richter pointed out, injury washouts shouldn't be counted as busts. But on the other hand, I guess you can't count them as successful drafting either.
