Already preparing the melt for when the Pats pass up elite prospects to trade down into the second round so they can pick a DB that was slated to go in the 6th round

This is a serious question not trolling in the slightest. Is the myth that the Patriots are elite drafters dead?

They have not drafted a single Pro Bowler since 2013.

(I still think BB is the greatest HC of the modern era and will be successful without Brady, so not intended as a troll, just an observation).

Like any team he has peaks and valleys, the draft is a complete crap shoot. People started giving him a lot of shite for bad drafting back in 2013 and then he rattled off a couple amazing drafts that lead to another dynasty

But since 2000

ETA since 2013 they’ve drafted Joe Thuney, Shaq Mason, Trey Flowers, Jimmy G, James White, Logan Ryan, Jamie Collins. The “pro bowl” qualifier is a bit misleading since it’s a pretty silly way to value picks

Lot of misses since 2013 but some great hits as well and I’m excited about Winnovich, Harry, and Isiah Wynn as ascending players going into year 2

People consider Bill an elite drafter not because he hits on every pick, but because he understands the chaos of the draft and understands the only way to win it is to have as many dart throws as possible.
