the Pats are strange drafters, they continuously trade back, but at what point? They had two first rounders this year, and get two next year? At some point you have to draft football players, it seems to me like they don't like anyone

Also they desperately needed a pass-rusher, maybe they are looking to trade or get one through free agency- maybe why they stockpiled picks

More than one analyst has speculated that Belichick's ego has gotten to the point that he believes he could take a high school team to the Super Bowl.

As time passes, the actual truth might turn out to be that Belichick was getting too much credit and Scott Pioli not nearly enough.

Scot, I have said the same thing recently.

However I do think that the Mallett pick up was perfect for the Colts/Pats/GB/SD because there would be no calls for him to start there and he could learn how to be a pro.

I see a Matt Schaub type thing going on with Mallett.

A Pats fan I talked to on Saturday was not happy with their draft. He criticizes Belichick for stockpiling picks only to draft "scrubs" as he put it.

they really don't get the criticism other teams would get if they pulled the same poo

the only reason they get away with it is because people rarely look bad in their system

    • I don't think anybody with a brain thought or thinks we are a legit super bowl contender this year.  I do LOVE the young core group that is forming. Part of the reason I defend Bryce Young is that if he is not good enough, we're going to waste a lot of this young talent we have anyway.  You don't go from 5-12 to super bowl contender in one offseason unless you get a major injury back or get an insane free agent haul. We currently can't hang with the best teams in the league.  We are also much closer than we were 365 days ago. Progress is good. There's still an outside shot at the playoffs, but I am really excited to see what Dan Morgan does with this offseason. Rico Dowdle a big decision. Jalen Coker, Brycen Tremaine, Cade Mays, Austin Corbett, Brady Christensen, Nick Scott and Christian Rozeboom are the guys we have to make decisions on. But this rebuild should be over next August. Or we have to do it again.  Improvements needed at pass rush and linebacker for sure.  Expecting us to win a super bowl this year is like expecting a kindergartener to do calculus. Is it possible? I guess so. but 99.9% shot it aint happening. We played like doo-doo against the bills, but that was definitely a penciled in loss from the day the schedule came out. Candidly though, if Bryce is ever going to be it, next year is the year we need to start being really good. 
    • Yeah he put us in too big of a hole in which we had to pass more.  3rd and long with a slow roll out and he tried to tuck in and run with a fumble in the redzone.  3rd and long with an INT on our side of the field.  Then we get to like the 10ish yard line with less that 30 second and no timeouts (even Greg said we have to try to quick throws here), what does Dalton do?  Take a sack allowing us to barely rush a FG out (which missed due to being rushed).  You absolutely can't take a sack there.  Throw in getting sacked 6 additional times with 2 additional turnovers.  He also missed TMac on a TD where Shaq was trying to cover him and missed an open JHJ on a big gain.  Box Score watching won't tell the story yet people are going to try to do it anyway.   Now it's pretty clear he isn't the upgrade that some were claiming he is, but they can spin it differently I'm sure.  
    • The combined record of teams we've beaten: 9-21. Some of y'all get fooled so easily.
