This is ridiculous. You have no idea what the coaches are teaching these guys.Patrick Chung is still a good player. He's a hard hitter who is a sure tackler, he would play very well on a team that uses a safety in the box (which the Pats DO NOT).
Also, the fact that the Patriots have used something like 9 picks on DB's on the first two rounds in recent years, and that NONE of them have improved, and that several have even regressed and gotten worse, means that the real issue is a bad secondary coach problem, not a talent issue.
The secondary coaching needs to be fired/replaced, it's clearly the weak link and the real issue.
The issue is that 1) Good DBs are hard to find for every team and 2) The Patriots are even worse at finding them than most other teams.
If you draft 9 times in the first two rounds and don't get any hits (though I think McCourty is pretty good this season), that's a front office issue. Coaching is important, but it comes down to the players. If you're a good player, you're going to be good no matter what kind of coaching you get.
