You mean the same draft evaluation that took Tom Brady in the 6th round?

He was actually more highly rated than Flowers coming out of college...

No he wasn't.

Flowers was a borderline top-100 talent;
GeeNo Grossem was borderline top-200, if that.

Did the Patriots draft him or not? They judged He merited being drafted even though they already had a $100 million Superbowl QB.
