Lol that is fair!This is the perfect place for a Belichick critic. Even some of his most loyal supporters and respected posters have been complaining about this pick. Get with the program kid.

We had bigger needs at these positions than we had at guard.Why claim that BB didn't think much of Lloyd, Dean, Elam, Johnson or Wyatt? Because BB traded down? What if BB felt that having the extra 3rd and 4th would bring players almost as talented those 5 and, thus, would give the Patriots much needed depth that they haven't had at CB, Edge and LB. One of the biggest things I heard was that many felt that the talent between 30-90 was very similar. It's also why there no consensus about the top picks.
Wyatt fit the Pats mold, but the NEED isn't there because they already have a ton of 3/5 Tech guys starting with Barmore, Guy and Godchaux.
I was also surprised at Ken's negativity concerning the pick.Ken - This is the sort of BS post I expect from Captain Stone. NOT from you.
Not sure what list you're looking at, but BCG has Cole Strange on his list. Granted, it's a 3r round grade, but he's still there.
I love your insight, Ken, but you're NOT Ms. Cleo. There is no way you can say that Strange won't be starting at LG in September. Go and do a search for Cole Strange Senior Bowl and watch some of the footage out there on him. Keep in mind that he played all of ONE game in his career at center prior to Senior Bowl Practices. Yet he was willing and able AND turned heads in doing so.
Pats gave up the 3rd least sacks in the NFL.Hopefully I'll come around to this way of thinking
You don’t sacrifice your queen when you are losing. Except if you want to lose fasterIt's just Belichick playing chess.... and sacrificing his queen.
There will be plenty of time for that.Sorry, missed one......
9. Surely the OP had to name this thread "Stranger Things" Really missed that chance.
He's the GM. The buck stops with him. There's no way his staff can override him or anything like that. They present their scouting reports, they give their thoughts on who they should pick but the guy who pulls the trigger at the end of the day is Bill.I have no clue about the draft other than its a complete crapshoot where the 77th pick is as likely to be a stud as the 27th. However, certain posters on this forum give the impression that the picks are all down to Bill. Is this really the case? Surely there is a process based on some sort of concensus amongst the coaches, scouts and personnel staff. I don't believe for a minute that Bill says pick X and the rest of the room just agree.
if he turns out to be shaq mason level it was the dumbest move of the offseason.The need was there and it is was a priority. There is no debate over that.
Question is the projection/draft slot.
If he turns into Mankind or Thuney or Shaq it was a great pick.
Do everything to protect Mac.
I don't know why BB went this way
So do you think Matt Groh etc wanted another player and are now scratching their heads?He's the GM. The buck stops with him. There's no way his staff can override him or anything like that. They present their scouting reports, they give their thoughts on who they should pick but the guy who pulls the trigger at the end of the day is Bill.
