Bill's massive f*** up was signing a bunch of retreads in FA (they all were cut/traded) and thinking they were going to stick over top talent who ended up dropping to him at the end of the first round. He ended up reaching on Harry and Williams (awful pick then considering the secondary was the deepest unit and still is an awful pick). Had he devoted the first two rounds at WR like he should have (and not reach on Harry), we could've had a combination of Metcalf-Brown, Brown-Samuel, or Metcalf-Samuel. I'm not a huge fan of Samuel (still rather have him over Harry) as his kamikaze style is going to shorten his career. Any of those combos and Brady is still here.Pretty much. Bill left the cupboards bare for Brady. Which IMO is why he ultimately left. If Patriots had a super bowl contender you think brady would leave?
Once you saw the Patriots do nothing to address the receiver or tight end position in free agency is when Brady made his announcement.
