Stone hands Graham was a very mediocre pass catcher. Excellent run blocker, but not worthy of that first round selection they passed Ed Reed for. BB must've had PTSD from making that goof and that's why we saw the run on DB's in the 1st and 2nd round from 2007-2020.

Watson was underwhelming and another reach at 32. The Pats were set to take Steven Jackson before the Bears took Tommie Harris leaving Vince Wilfork available. I was hoping Jackson was going to drop or they traded back up after the Wilfork selection. Dansby would've been a way better pick at LB at 33 which was a real future need for the Pats.

Also, Darnell Dockett going one pick after Marquise Hill in that same draft was brutal.

Top 5 Pats best TE's in the last 30 years:

1. Gronk
2. Coates
3. Hernandez
4. Henry
5. Bennett for one season.
