Anyone else notice...

if it was going to happen this was the year to do it.

burdened with the untradeable #1 in a low elite talent draft

two FA periods between '11 and '12 draft to compensate for traded picks

FA's > high round rookies percentage wise

likely a high pick next year anyway with no rookie cap

holes to fill all over the place

young team who could use a vet in the place of another rook

Ill be glad when we have all of our picks next year

It surprise me every time they talk about brady in the 6 round. Analyst act like the patriots knew tom brady was going to be great and win 3 superbowls. Like come on be 4real they were lucky plain and simple.

[Lumps]

so maybe we'll have more than our usual load next year =D

I will be happy when this happens.

That's it really. All those great draft picks for the past several years and they have done little outside of the regular season. In August Brady will be 34 which for many QBs spells diminished returns as injuries start to get the best of them and the window is beginningto close. All those great picks don't mean squat if you squander them.

Brady claims he'll play another 10 years, but I don't see it.. as great as he is, he isn't a physical specimen..

Extra first next year.

After they trade up for Andrew luck I'll stop watching football.

if that is the case, hopefully Luck becomes the biggest bust in football history. would be very fitting for that franchise. I would love to see that ship catch fire and sink as all their fans eat the words they've been vomiting on everyone for years.

And yes, they got the steal of the decade in Brady, but that was dumb luck..not "drafting genius". Belichick didn't wait until the sixth round going "mwuhahahaha none of these fools know how great Brady will be...I'm just going to pass on him 5 or so times because I know no one else will draft him! <insert more evil laughter>"

I always love when people reference that as if they were infallible.

That same team traded up to get Laurence Maroney, and took him ahead of DeAngelo Williams.
