Okay, so let's all only look at the bad drafts, and ignore the good years to come to a conclusion that "Belichick sucks at drafting".
A gentle reminder of some players drafted during the Belichick regime:
- Tom Brady
- Matt Light
- Logan Mankins
- Richard Seymour
- Vince Wilfork
- Rob Gronkowski
- Asante Samuel
- Nate Solder
- Dan Koppen
- Chandler Jones
- Devin McCourty
- Julian Edelman
- Dont'a Hightower
- Jamie Collins
- Sebastian Vollmer
- Jerod Mayo
- Deion Branch
- Marcus Cannon
- Matt Cassel
- Ty Warren
- Ben Watson
- Joe Thuney
- Patrick Chung
- Stephen Gostkowski
- James White
- Logan Ryan
- Shaq Mason
The last few drafts have been abysmal; there is no dispute.
But to imply that BB "
sucks at drafting" is an overstatement that sounds like either contrived sports talk radio hyperbole, or a spoiled entitled fan out of touch with reality.
