That's the one that sticks out to me as well.gronk ... a 2nd on a TE with middlin numbers and an bad back? yeeesh ...
Richard Seymour. You know you wanted David Terrell.
For whatever reason, I remember saying WTF when we used a 5th ( 4th?) on Matthew Slater.
Not sure why I was so upset by the use of a 5th round pick for a ST player.

I remember that moment pretty vividly because it was the first Patriots pick I watched during live draft coverage (wasn't as intense of a fan before 2010). The analyst pretty much couldn't say anything about him besides that he could contribute on special teams.
A decade later and he's still a top 5 safety.
Crazy thing about McCourty is that he was a GREAT corner in his rookie year. Then his second year he dropped off terribly. They then switched him to safety and he became a terrific safety for many years, and still going strong. But without that switch of positions, he may have flamed out as a corner pretty quickly.
