Three years out—rate the 2010 Patriots draft

[I.M. Fletcher]

I was fully prepared to give this draft an A+ given all the pieces that turned out, and how well we did with holes being filled, but looking over that draft, there was a ton of talent in that draft and mad Bill did a great job of accumulating picks for that season.

I mean, we talk about Gronk at 42 as the steal of the draft, but the pick we traded out of ended up being Darryl Washington. Thats perennial DPOY Darryl Washington. Then there was Navarro Bowman the pick after Price, Dunlop and Sean Lee the picks after Cunningham.

So, it will go down as one of the great drafts and a huge success, but I wont totally dismiss those who wish we got that one more piece, since it was most likely out there, whether they fit our needs then or not.
