While waiting for training camp and the beginning of the new season, there isn't much to talk about.
So here is my attempt to start a discussion.
Belichick has spent the last few years rebuilding, or retooling, while continuing to win. In 2007, he reconstructed the WR corps, and started to rebuild the secondary by drafting Meriwether. In 2008 he continued rebuilding the secondary using high draft picks on two CBs. And of course he continued re-building the LB corps, using his high First on Jerod Mayo, and a Third on Crabel.
This past off-season, it has been apparent that he spent the majority of his time rebuilding the secondary, while he added another high pick, (Third) to the LB corps.
He also spent 6 picks on the Lines, three each. For most teams that is their entire draft, 6 or 7 picks, yet it doesn't feel like that was the major thrust.
Here is the question. Belichick has stockpiled 5 high picks for the next draft. 1 x 1; 3 x 2; and 1 x 3. What positions will he use them on? What position will the First Rounder fill? What positions should he use them on if your expectations of what he will do is different from what he should do? Discussion, Please.
