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.

    God, so much effort on such a low quality post. Our defensive line, OLB, and RBs have been solid for 20 years. There’s a point where you need to look past the data. I’m not sure if you took into consideration that having studs already in place means these draftees were going to be busts no matter what. Just consider the names of players we had at those positions and tell me what drafted players were going to take over for them…
