re: Six years ago, Bill Belichick told Falcons not to move up to draft Julio Jones

Lol. You completely missed what he said, he's talking about the picks not the player.

Draft picks are insanely valuable because you get cost controlled players. The entire time they had Julio at a discount, they were unable to put together a championship team, and the teams they did have always had huge glaring weaknesses.

Now Julio isn't cheap, but a better scouting department has filled the holes.
