My critique: Belichick has always Drafted for Value, and despite his filibustering in the past, “Value” has always been about factoring $Money for Post-Rookie Veteran contracts; nothing else. DE and OLB are the most glaring areas.
Belichick’s Draft Busts in quests for value always left the Team with glaring and detrimental needs left to be filled, and those needs were always at everywhere on the DL, especially DE, and OLB. WR as well
He has a horrible pattern of behavior in wasting 2nd to 4th Round Picks on DBs (Jordan Richards, Ras-I Dowling, Tavon Wilson, Duke Dawson).
His stinkers list at RB and WR are atrociously bad too.
Belichick ruined Vereen and Ridley, especially Ridley by 2013. He put him the Doghouse on the Bench too soon.
Belichick fucked up in 2018. He passed on Nick Chubb.
Look at Chubb’s 2018 Rookie outing, playing for a Bottom-5 Oline and Bottom-5 QB led offense. Imagine him with Brady and Gronk that year.
