Is it poor scouting? The offense being too tough to get? Not investing enough capital in it? Luck? All of the above?
I mean I seem to remember a time when pats couldn't draft cornerbacks. Now anyone they pick up off the street looks elite.
It just seems that teams draft elite talent every year in the late 1st and into the 2nd round etc. almost every team can find good receivers. And we consistently draft guys who don't even belong in the NFL
It's one thing if we draft a receiver and they just become okay. A parker, lafell type player. Not elite but they have a place as a #2 or #3
The problem is we draft guys who seemingly don't even belong in the NFL. Thornton doesn't even look like the belongs on the field. It's fair to question had we drafted anyone other than Harry or Pickens instead of Thornton that the trajectory of this team would be totally different.
Harry was the same. How we miss that bad has to be studied by the scouts.
