I was thinking aout this last night. Thinking back to the 2014 draft, and major positions not being addressed (especially TE & WR), why didn't the reporters ask him about that ? Why didn't reporters ask him about risking a #1 pick on a guy who has had 2 major knee surgeries on both knees ?
If I was a reporter, I would ask him "The 2014 draft was known as one of the deepest drafts as far as WR ever, why wasn't a WR picked until the 7th round ?" Especially since we have a weak receiver corp, and the 3 rookies from last season, all ended the season with injuries.
And then the BIG Gorilla in the room, I'd ask him, "Why wasn't the TE position addressed at all ?" Especially when the team needs receiving TE's desperately. It's so obvious our offense is elite when Gronkowski is in there, but when he's not, the offense suffers.
I didn't see ANY reporter ask these questions, and they are viable concerns. I know BB would come back with the usual "I picked the players I thought would make our team better", but I wouldn't sit there and nod my head and say, "oh". I'd come back and say, "That answer doesn't answer the specific questions". Why are reporters so afraid of Belichick, or are they not intelligent enough to ask these question ?
