Jeremy Hill and Martavis Bryant were drafted after Easley.
Trade down rather than waste the pick.
Bryant is a ****ty example.

Gronk was a second round pick (Smaller money, fewer years) who was taken after they'd already made their 'safe' pick in round one. He wasn't the huge gamble with the first round pick, to be followed by a backup QB you hope will never play, outside of kneel downs and blowouts, during the duration of his rookie contract. Go take a look at BB's first round draft history, and find the huge known injury/character gambles not named Easley.
BB historically saves his gambles for round 2. This time (2014), he made a huge gamble in round one and then drafted a no-help player in round 2.
Bryant is a ****ty example.
Just imagine. If we had traded back instead of taking Easley, we could have a very talented WR out for the season!!
What could have been.....
No, clearly you don't understand nor have you properly comprehended anything I have written. Even worse, you're misrepresenting my own words to better reflect your position. Even for you, that's pathetic.No, you're trying to use a circular argument to insulate your position from the criticism it so obviously deserves.
You say that you can't have it both ways, as a way of trying to dismiss criticism, yet you point to criticism in an attempt to defend a later post.
Nobody has to be on board with every risk taken, so to claim that people "can't have it both ways" is garbage.
And you know that.
I'm not going to lose sleep over a bust. The team made a decision and it backfired. You want the ledger to favor the better decisions over poor decisions and the Pats appear to make more good decisions than bad but still, if people feel like canning them for taking Easley, they can do so.Jeremy Hill and Martavis Bryant were drafted after Easley.

Truthfully, I'm more interested in the timing. It has implications for the Patriots, the draft, and a potential rival. Do the Colts take a flier on Easley etc?
Well let's say we took Gronk at pick #26 that year instead of McCourty. Would that change your opinion of it?
How do you know that he would have been busted in NE?
Crystal ball?
If Denver or another team gets him off waivers, they need to assume his contract. Does that eliminate our cap hit or is there a carryover amount?
LMFAO at you suggesting that someone else lighten up. We'd all like an explanation. However, you're the only one looking like a jackass by issuing threatening demands. I'll repeat my question in another form: what are you going to do when it becomes clear that BB isn't going to provide an explanation? "Sally"...what a dink...
No doubt. Brady is and has been unbelievable and his brilliance masks a lot of the Patriots flaws but in reality, whilst not attaining the same level of success, I still believe the Patriots would be a decent team.Time is running out.
Brady hides a lot of ugly draft blunders.
I'm not going to play the "Let's move the goalposts!" game.
