That's an excellent question.... but you still haven't answer mine.

That's not drafting though....you're getting players that have already proved themselves in the pro's. Luckily for us they both turned out to be better than expected.
You should take a look at who other teams draft every year. We're spoiled and most of us don't even know it.
Sure it is.
They took a draft pick, decided that they could get more value spending it on vets, and used it. Deciding not to draft a player and instead giving it to another team most certainly is a draft decision.
The draft is a part of player management and aquisition. Not an independant thing.
Yeah but in the context of this thread we are talking about evaluating talent and drafting it. We didn't draft Welker,we didn't draft Moss. We traded for them.
i just went through the drafts of other top teams from the decade...there are bad drafts,some are average but none of them have 3 bad drafts in a row.
Our 2001-2005 drafts are pretty damn good.Each year producing good players. Then 3 bad drafts. And now what looks to be 3 pretty good drafts from 09 to 11 that have produced alot of starters and contributors.
The Chargers,Steelers,Ravens have been very consistent in my opinion.
The vast majority of players drafted are misses.
You'd think from reading some of the posts here that Belichick is a drafting dunce that accumulates picks, seldom uses them, and screws up when he does.
So perhaps surprising to many, here's someone who graded all 32 teams drafts over the past ten years, and guess which team came out on top:
...and...
Cold, Hard Football Facts.com: Decade in the making: the ultimate NFL draft grades
I've always thought that the third round of the NFL draft was our and/or one of our best rounds for selecting capable talent.
any thoughts on that my friends my fellow patriot comrades
First of all to be considered a good Drafter, you actually have to Draft not pass like it's some kind of a card game.
If you guys were paying any attention AT all you'd Sue that the probowl is full of players every single year that belichick missed on.
and who ends up drafting them- ---- OTHER teams.
On the latter point, consider Andre Tippett.. who many think should be in the hall of fame, however he suffered because he was a really great player on pyss poor teams.
In the NFL you are a product of the system in which you play..
The Pats poor drafting in recent years have been overstated. They had one bad year and one or two other not so great years. Name a team that doesn't go through a slump in drafting here and there.
Yeah...they are called the Lions and every ****ty bottom dweller for the past decade. I can't help but feel that a 3 year run of mostly misses costed us some big games.
Look at the 2009 Patriots...that was probably the weakest team we had the entire decade and the lack of talent was evident on both sides of the ball imo.
lol...i don't have the time and energy for that.I'll be waiting for your list of teams that haven't missed on picks.
No, you don't have the time and energy for that. In fact, nobody does, because such a list does not exist.
You do seem to have a lot of time to troll the forums with baseless opinion, though. God forbid looking up facts takes time away from that!
