I don't think many are complaining primarily of the 'positions' that Belichick addressed early, but of 'whom' we selected.I think we have to recognize a few things.
-We went into the draft with a uniquely young defense and a veteran offense. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to conclude filling the offensive needs in the draft and defensive in FA would make sense.
From the 14-2 team we had last year, we have the following subtractiins.
QB None
RB Lost Taylor, Morris and probably Faulk plus BJGE is an RFA who could be lost
WR None
TE None
T Lost Light
C/G Lost Neal but have a replacement who started most of last season
DE ADDED Warren
NT None
OLB None
ILB None
CB ADDED BODDEN
S None
I dont know why we are surpised that 3 of the first 4 picks went to those areas.
Most dreamers in here want a boatload of big named players in the majority of our draft and every year it NEVER happens and they get frustrated and upset.
If we had picked Brian Ingram at 17 and LeShoure at the second pick and then Solder at the 3rd pick and the popular Ricky Stanzi as the 4th pick there would not be as many critics.
Many are upset at the lack of 'sexy' players...not exactly all are upset at the positions themselves.
