That year our 2nd pick was a 4th rounder.
We had many high picks this year.
I think we cut/traded better players this year than we ever have before. So I think the rookies earned a job that was tough to earn, not made a team that was easy to make.
yeah, just imagine how many we would have kept if Belichick didn't suck so bad at drafting, and wasn't thoroughly out-drafted by the Steelers every year?
The Steelers are very good at drafting players.
I think it just shows a concerted effort by BB to make the team younger and faster
Wouldn't expect much since the Patriots can't draft properly after the first round...
Actually the first round has been a trouble area(watson maroney) thats why I like trading down

Belichick has probably been as efficient with his first round picks as anyone has. The entire DL was built with first rounders. It is among the very best in the league. Add Mayo and Meriweather and we have 5 players who are the core of our defense.
Belichick loves TE's and drafted Graham and Watson. Watson has had several injuries and still averaged a lot of catches. He is usually our #4 receiver in terms of catches. Graham was an expensive blocking back. However, he did a fine job. We can agree to disagree about Maroney. We needed a #1 running back. The choice was Maroney or Addai. In his first half of his rookie season, many had Maroney as a candidate for offensive rookie of the year. Then, he was injured. Even now, Maroney may very well be our #1 running back. At very least, it will be Taylor and Maroney sharing the load. That, my friend, is not a failed #1 pick. After all his injuries, and all the free agent additions, Maroney apparently is still considered a top running back by Belichick. Maroney could be traded tomorrow, but for today, he still is #1 running back on the patriots, or alternatively #2 to a future HOFer.
