It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Mr. Williamson needs to start posting, when the Patriots are on the clock, just who these "true difference-makers" are who we should be drafting. Picking at #22-#32 every year makes that difficult. We've had our share of misses, no doubt, but picking where we do it's an unreasonable suggestion that we should get more difference makers unless we start drafting the Dez Bryants.
More "insight" from someone who has never in his life had to make a real decision affecting the well being of a real organization in real time.
"Those who can, Draft. Those who can't, Blog."
And those who post on message boards ... ?
I don't know. I feel like the strategy of trading and stockpiling picks when you're winning Super Bowls and going unbeaten and the draft is week, then having a bunch of picks when the draft is strong and you're re-stocking, is pretty good.
You want to talk about the success of this draft and the general philisophy than ponder this. The patriots entered the day with 4 day one and day two picks (first 3 rounds) and left with 5 day one and two players and an extra 2 next year and 4 of the 5 players came in the first two rounds.
ill take the really good role players of bruchi, ted, law, mcginest, branch, givens, brady of the 2004 teams
than the superior talents of any number of players

Pretty remarkable when you look at it this way.
Only 4 teams had 5 picks in the first 100 taken; Pats, Browns, Chiefs and Broncos. Anyone see a pattern there?
