The Pats need a new direction on draft/FA signings

We'll also be lousier after we lose these players.

Yes, of course. Did I forget to note sarcasm?

Lots of Harry/DK post here so I figured I'd leave this here. Seattle really made it easy for DK but he still had a vg rookie year.
This is actually pretty cool. If anyone doesn't think analytics are useful or here to stay (both have been true for a long time now) please read this. It's not breaking news but very useful & just a tip of the iceberg at what teams are doing or could do in the future. I'm ******ed & wish I was smart enough to do some of this myself.

Well if DK Metcalf did all that on Physical ability alone Harry is done! yeah he will be a Bust. Also I am not going to make myself feel better about something like that... it tells you that the Patriots brass is cluless when it comes on to evaluating young WR's. Harry is horrible three yards past the LOS.

Pats had some pretty bad drafts from 2005-2008 until Floyd Reese came to town. After he left is when the bad drafts started again.

Jamie Collins
Logan Ryan
Duron Harmon
James White
Malcolm Butler
Trey Flowers
Shaq Mason
David Andrews
Joe Thuney
Malcolm Mitchell
Jonathan Jones
Adam Butler
Isaiah Wynn
Sony Michel
Ja'wuan Bentley
JC Jackson

were all post-Floyd Reese, outside of Wynn & Bentley who were injured last year everyone on that list has contributed to SB wins.

no-one has a 100% record when it comes to the draft, people need to stop acting like it

Steve Keim 1st Rd picks since 2013

Jonathan Cooper

Deone Bucannon

D.J. Humphries

Robert Nkemdiche

Haason Reddick

Josh Rosen

Appreciate Bill & Tom. Both have flaws but that drop off is enormous & it's coming.

I still can’t believe we took Jordan Richards in the 2nd round. Belichick gets too enamored with football IQ.
