But you can't argue the facts.
RB was not a priority, but front 7 is.
That's not fact. That's opinion. No wonder you're having so many issues.

I didn't read this thread, but I can guarantee it went like this...
Next four pages of posts: Just a constant repeat of the above.
Let's worry about who is on the team in September instead of who is on the team in April. It doesn't matter who you draft if they don't play.
I didn't read this thread, but I can guarantee it went like this:
Guy A: Even though the Patriots have been the most successful franchise in sports for 20 years, I'm going to find something to complain about.
Guy B: Because the Patriots have been the most successful franchise in sports for 20 years, they are immune to any and all criticism.

By that argument, one could say drafting offense was the correct choice. Philly's offense made the plays when they needed it though, the Pats did not.
Well the important thing is that you've found a way to feel superior to both.
You claim that the Patriots won because of the calls in Pittsburgh and NY, but ignore the fact that the only reason that Philly won was because the league used the NEW CATCH RULES in the SB instead of the ones they'd used all season. And that accounted for 2 TDs for Philly. Otherwise the Pats win it handedly.

Nope
RB was not a need at 2 on a team thats run game is by committee. Lewis is gone, not Emmit Smith. Lewis was a castaway.
3rd ranked run game in 2017. 31st ranked defense.
. Seriously, is this just a troll / bully forum or are we here to talk intelligently about football?
Oh, you're personally attacking ME now. At least I saved the other guy lol.
If you look at that post, which you helpfully linked, it's actually full of humility, such as "I know 1/10 of what Belichick knows and 1/3 of what some posters here know," and "based on my limited knowledge" etc. But you pulled out where I said I was *trying* to look at things in an enlightened way, not that I was the "enlightened one," to find a way to attack me personally.

The defense was the league's 5th best scoring defense. The 3rd ranked run game lost its main back, who just happened to be its only reliable and quality back when it came to the actual running part of being a running back.
Try again. Do better.

Fail
The Pats had the 31st ranked defense.
21st passing defense and 30th run defense. Allow that to sink in.
No
The main back was a cast off. Like Woodhead, Blount, Dillon, Smith. Committees spread the wealth. Now, Sony has to play a lot to justify costing a 1st round pick.
