Not so. My original point is Bill the GM was the Goat up to 2014. Since then he has been awful in drafting in the top 3 rounds.
The team was primed to go in the 1st SB run of 3 in 4 years because the team had the core pieces in place. It happened again in the 2nd SB run in 2014 all because of years of good drafting and team building.
Since I was referring how bad Bb drafting in the top 3 rounds has been after 2014. I'll list those core players on that 2014 team that was drafted in the top 3.
CHUNG, Mccourty, Gronkowski, mayo, C Jones, Hightower, Vereen, Collins, Solder, JG, Harman, L Ryan. Most of these guys are pro bowlers.
That is quite a list and that is not including other core veterans who weren't drafted in the top 3 rds by NE such as Edelman, Amendola and Brady.
From 2015 onward in top 3 rounds, only Thuney, Wynn, Harris, Winovich were good draft picks at their spot. Is there a pro bowler here ?
Very poor indeed.
