Once again. We suck at drafting. Our scouts stink. BB is a horrible evaluator.
We have a certain system that some players will not fit into no matter how well they played in another system (ex:Ochocinco). Also Brady, Edleman, Wilfork, Seymour, McCourty, Samuel, Vareen, White, Gronk, Light, C Jones, Hightower, Slater, Branch, Solder, Warren, Vareen, Collins, Watson, Vollmer, Mankins, Mayo etc only to mention a few turned out very good.
Some of you guys think that all the other teams hit on every draft pick but in reality they are in the same boat as us. It’s a crap shoot. 70% (fact) of your draft picks will not make the team or be a bust. But with the Patriots we have a specific system on all 3 sides of the ball which limit the specific type of player needed. Not all will work out. Some will. Some will be Stars.
BB plugs in certain types of players for certain positions and gets one or two more same type of player for depth. Plug and play. A certain type of player can be a star somewhere else but flat out stink here.
If you feel that other teams are better talent evaluators then go buy one of their jerseys. Betcha none of them won 6 SB’s, 9 SB appearances in a 20 years.
Another Fact.. It takes 6 years to truthfully Evaluate a draft pick. Some look great out of the blocks but stumble later. Some look slow out of the blocks but become solid players. Few are stars from start to finish
With all due respect some of you are spoiled little brats. This is the greatest dynasty for a sustained period of time. Enjoy it
Edit..I think you would have had a more meaningful poll if you eliminated this nonsense and went with “What is better Big Mac or Whopper”
