2021 will be the final draft for Ernie Adams

What's the alternative. Suck it up and put up with bad drafts. If Ernie was a big part of the last few drafts, then it's the correct call. BB himself is ultimately responsible as the GM and he needs to make the changes that he needs to.

Ernie might be better at designing plays than doing drafts. Who knows. Noone really knows what he does.

Time for you to crawl back into your hole.

Here is Bill Belichick's tribute to Ernie Adams in the draft room as he (Ernie Adams) drafts Tre Nixon:

Ernie is 68. Might not have the same energy, insights or commitment he used to.

He’s only 68? Dude looks at least 10 years older.

He does a lot of H. Smokes Marlboros as well.

Ernie is a huge cog in the machine. #nextmanup

Thank you Ernie for invaluable work and presence and legacy that will remain.

Always nice to see Bill in his natural character. Real depth of appreciation as always.
Not only Ernie in this case but also his Croatian and Lacross heritage


ps
They managed to blur the board most of the time but maybe some sherlocks here can finally decipher the system..
Some colours and numbers BB spoke about are visible there..
The board seems even smaller than usual so those two 4th rounders thrown for Barmore prob reflect that. After 120 Pats draft turned into futures (McGrone) and HPFA territory.

Gotta admit..knowing how long those two dudes have been together and the success they've had, that was a great moment.

so Tre Nixon gonna be an All-Pro WR for the Pats?^^

H? To me, he looks like a guy who drinks 10 cups of coffee a day and has absolutely god awful breath.

OK, it's only a ****tail napkin, but what a ****tail napkin!

Huge loss and huge shoes to fill. Didn't realize David Givens was his pick. I think some of our coolest moves (Snow Game goal-line stand, intentional safety in the endzone etc, willingness to go on 4th down, Butler INT) were due to Ernie Adams being so smart, providing analysis to back up bold moves, and also Belichick having so much trust with him going back to their high school days. Sad day for Pats nation. Tre Nixon just became a draft binkie.

How old is Ernie? everyone retires eventually.

I get the feeling he retired completely, not just from helping with the draft. I wonder if Patricia will take his place?

I do too but Bill will ping him to do small jobs i'm sure.

Pats got some wiz kids in the front office.

We all know Patricia's brain. My gut tells me he is the new Ernie. In addition, he brought his slide rule badass over, Evan Rothstein who also was DC in DET after Fat Matt was wacked.

Ernie's lieutenant is Richard Miller. Hes been here forever.

They seem to be in decent shape.

Love to see his last choice, Trey Nixon, will make the Team

Didn't know that about Givens, one of my favorites.

Let’s hope he turns out as well as Givens.
