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.

    This is why I feel the draft and draft picks are overrated. Trading for an existing good player now and losing a future draft pick is nearly always a good outcome. Consider how easily coaches and GM’s are fired these days. It’s in their best interest to stack the roster now instead of rebuilding in the future.
