With Worley done, the 2016 draft looks like one of our worst ever

NE, despite their success, really is not a good drafting team. Outside of 2012 with Jones and Hightower, they've drafted many busts without many hits in later rounds either. Their success is due much more to cherry picking FAs that fit their scheme cost effectively and having the best coaching and team specific game planning in the league. It would be admirable if Belichick weren't a cheater. 

Perhaps, but the point still remains.  The majority of picks never become consistent starters, even if they are picked in the second or third round.

Also, if this really was the worst draft in our history, then we are very good at drafting.

This is the third or fourth thread OP has made about that draft. I think the last one was when we traded Worley

Edit: yep.. Shame, shame OP. Anything for pie

I was saying this a couple years ago. DG went on an ego trip after our Super Bowl. You can't cut one of your superstars, have one of the worst drafts in franchise history, then try going the cheap route yet again to fill your holes and also not improving hardly anything after a Super Bowl year and then expect teams not to adjust to you when you have that huge target on your back. DG royally fuged us that year.

Hurney's last 4 drafts in which we got 3 good players total, and one of them took 3 years to develop.  Oh, and of course, Greg Hardy. This is what we have to look forward to:

Jury is still out on Butler 

Bradberry was great for a rookie, did not have a good season last year. Jury still out. 

Rest of the draft is obviously garbage.

The funny thing is replace "DG" with "Bill Belichick" and you have people praising how smart he is

[juliosantos]

gettleman fans will make excuses

[Porn Shop Clerk]

which is something nobody can do for hurney

[pantherclaw]

Definitely wasn't a great draft, although I don't agree with your very negative spin on Butler and Bradberry.

That's how it looked every year with Gettleman and they wanted to crown him the best GM we have ever had when he was here. So glad that fat @ss is gone.

EXACTLY..... He is great at destroying a team in order to rebuild however the building supplies he chooses rarely pan out. He needs to redo his draft metrics and strategy.

1. Vernon Butler
2. James Bradberry
3. Daryl Worley
4. Zack Sanchez
5. Beau Sandland

The only two left on the roster are Bradberry and Butler. Butler has done next to nothing, and Bradberry is... fine. Worley was never that good, Sanchez is on the practice squad, and Sandland never played a down for us.

This is just after two years and it's this bad. Butler might be gone in a year or two, and Bradberry isn't even a given for being a long-term starter either.

It's hard to say it, but yeah that looks like one of our worst drafts ever. 

What was 2015 like? Thompson, Funchess, Williams, Mayo and CAP. Not bad, all still on team but G-man also traded away six picks that year. Six picks. But he got good value there with core starters and some serious role players.

I guess everyone has a bad one now and then.

There was that season we took Rashad Anderson in the first and he failed his first 3 piss tests.

Yeah that one was bad too. At least we got Deon Grant and Jeno James out of it.
