Kraft acknowledges drafting woes, says approach is changing

[amfootball]

Since this thread has turned into a bit of a memory lane rehash. I wanted to post this video flashback from when the Patriots beat the Broncos in the regular season in 2013 down 24-0. This is my favorite regular season game of all time. Welker causing the muff on the punt in O.T. was the icing on the cake as it was first game back in Foxboro. LOL.

Kraft can blather all he wants about the Patriots draft approach.
Bottom Line: He and his video morons cost us a valuable 3rd round trade up or draft pick around 79th. Where's Bobby on THAT aspect of the draft?

Not having that 3rd rounder is absolutely brutal when doing the mock drafts. Such a huge gap between Round 2, Pick #46 and Round 3, Comp Pick #96

Absolute torture to sit and watch 50 players taken before you get to pick again

I was at that game. The guys I was with wanted to leave at halftime, but I wouldn't let them. I just had a feeling.

Moreno looked like Sanders out there, horrible run D#
I think he had over 200 yards that night...

I thought I was the only one in the world who remembers Merriwether missing out on an interception. No one EVER mentions it.

Yep, it wouldn't have been the easiest INT ever because he had his back to the ball at the time...but it was floating, so he had time to close his arms and bring it to his body...Hell he should've really caught it in his hands anyway......

Unless I see video which has heretofore been for some reason made unavailable, I will maintain that this missed opportunity by Stomper was more egregious than that missed by A$ante.

Just tortured myself again. Harrison misses an INT right before the 2 minute warning. He was upset at himself for not getting that.

Two plays later, they had a chance to stuff a run on 4 and 1, but couldn't do it.

Merriweather drop is at 47 seconds left in the game. Looked like it could've been caught, but he was saw the WR and I believe that's what made him drop it. He may not have come down as Tyree ran into him.

3 times Eli tried to lose the game on that drive alone.

Following play, Merriweather gets caught in a pick play on 3rd and 11 with 45 seconds left.

Then the TD. @TommyBrady12 celebrates.

What sucks about Rodney's missed INT is that because it was the last play before the 2-minute warning, a replay of it has Never. Been. Shown...and that's a damn shame.

The Patriots’ drafts from 2016-19 collectively rank sixth-worst in the NFL, according to the weighted career Approximate Value (AV) of players selected.

AV is a metric that represents a player’s impact on a given season with a single number. Weighted career AV reflects a player’s total career impact, while balancing peak production (i.e. his numbers from a Pro Bowl year) against raw career totals. Basically, it’s a more refined way of measuring a player’s value to his team instead of seasons started or Pro Bowls made.

Approximate Value is far from perfect, but its algorithm allows player comparisons across positions and generations. To wit, the all-time career leaders in AV are Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees, with Jerry Rice checking in at No. 5.

Over the past five years, Pats draftees have combined for a weighted career AV of 166. Only the Cardinals (109), Buccaneers (155), Raiders (156), Vikings (157) and Washington Football Team (165) have yielded less lately from the draft. "
