McCourty is a 4 down player
You are right actually. The kid can block kicks and averaged 25 yds a return Sr year.

Kind of you to give BB the benefit of the doubt that when his film review, study and assessment of 2 players is different than your that you accept there may be a chance he is the one who is right.
I guess Tate and Crable is ready or BB and AD have patched things up. We all know Maroney is finally ready to prove himself in his contract year and Crumpler has proven he is was a very good TE.
When Wright played at DE last year, he looked like a star. We are ready for 2010. We should have traded all our picks.
I'd argue that we need to upgrade Wright. Hes a Jarvis Green role IMO. Lewis seems decent.
No, we should have brought weapons and forced Goddell to allow us to make the 6 first round picks it would have taken to make you happy.

Hobbs was a 3rd round pick, and we got more than 3rd round value.
Wheately has not worked out so far.
Wilhite was a 4th and as such has been decent.
Thanks for the writeup. Makes it easier and puts things into perspective.
Define decent?
Andy, Wilhite has no business starting for the Pats. He is only out there becuase there is nobody else better at the moment.
Good pass rushing never starts with CB's. Good try though.
Anybody else think TE is the next pick?
Huge hole there.
True we should have brought the weapons we drafted last year.
I'm not saying I know more than BB or BB is an idiot or anything like that. I'm simply stating that I wasn't that impressed with McCourty from what I saw, but I could be wrong and am willing to go into the season with an open mind because Belichick has been very good at adding talent to this team.
But lets not make it seem like Belichick never whiffs. He's whiffed plenty of times before in the 2nd round and he appears to have whiffed on a fairly high pick he used on a CB in 08 (Wheatley).
I didn't know I wasn't allowed to have my own opinion of players. I guess I'm supposed to think everything Belichick does is amazing. Belichick has studied film on plenty of prospects in the past and HAS failed before. Everyone has. Just because BB drafted McCourty doesn't make McCourty a shoe-in to be a great player. I thought Robinson was a better CB prospect. Belichick felt differently. Many people on this board felt Matthews was a great pickup at OLB. Belichick apparently didn't. Looks like they were right about that one so far.
Are you trying to say we had a poor draft last year?
By the way 2 of those weapons from last year will be used tomorrow too.

Probably, but I'm skeptical of 2nd or third rounders who need to add weight.
