Brehs, let's examine Bill Bellicheck "the genius" and his drafts 2008-2014

[Listen]

The one pick that really, REALLY burns me to this day is when they took Brandon Tate in the 3rd round. The very next pick? Mike Wallace by the Steelers. That's an example of it being a few rounds into the draft, so everyone's had a shot at all the remaining talent, your drafting a position, and you compare one player to another and chose the wrong one.

Now, Brandon Tate turned into one of the better kick off returners before the rule change, but how good would Mike Wallace have looking in a Pat's uniform for the last 5 years?

Otherwise, @Raquinotj has it correct; based on where they pick, Patriots are a very good drafting organization.

According to people that do REAL RESEARCH, the Patriots are the best team at drafting. Of course we wont get an Andrew Luck or a Megatron, we dont draft top 10.

The goal of this study is to determine which teams draft the best — not which teams have drafted the best players. So a team, like the Patriots, who routinely pick at the end of rounds, might not bring in the type of marquee rookies that a team like the Lions have; but New England has done a better job of picking given their positions in the draft order.

The Patriots have a reputation as being the NFL’s model franchise — Spygate and the Aaron Hernandez case aside — and a lot of that derives from how the team constructs its roster. A perennial position at the top of the standings should make it hard for a team to add a lot of talent through the drafts, but New England has found a way. The Patriots haven’t hit a lot of home runs, but they’ve rarely struck out. Getting TE Rob Gronkowski with the 42nd pick in 2010 and LB Jamie Collins with the 52nd pick in 2013 are just a couple examples of the gems the New England brain trust has uncovered outside of the first round.

pats do well in 1st or second round but after that nothing really good stands out after 3rd round

beli's obsession with trading down picks hasnt yielded anything good, Id actually say its a borderline failure

You're right, but you kinda have to take into account that for over a decade they been drafting late.
