If the Pats are going to turn this thing around quickly, now would be a great time at the draft to stop gambling on guys with injury history or system guys recommended by your friends, or trying to be smarter than everyone else there. How about best players available period. The draft slot will be in our favor this time and chances are very good we'll get a really good player, as we usually do when we pick high in the draft. This doesn't mean they should only pick big names from big schools - I don't care about April Super Bowls, leave those accolades to the Jest.
And get some help (or more likely in this case, some new help for a fresh perspective. Sometimes change is good)
