Over 17 years, the Patriots draft on average at the 52nd spot in the second. That number climbs to the 56th spot if you drop 2000 and 2001.
From how I grade it (bust/not a bust/to be determined) Belichick is still above average (60% bust rate) for what is probably his worst round. If 3 of the "to be determined" end up out of the league and rated as "busts" he would still be hitting league average.
You are undoubtedly much more knowledgeable about NFL players than I am. However, it is my understanding that there is huge gap between the NFL professionals and the media/football enthusiast analysts. I think you are putting too much weight on what the latter are "projecting".
Gronk should get more than a "1" by his name. Maybe a "6". With an umlaut.
