It would be a vast mistake to think that BB was passive or uninvolved in the drafting process.
All that said, I take nothing away from Pioli, who headed the entire scouting process, and had shared veto power with BB in the draft room.

I didn't suggest that BB was passive and ininvolved.
My point is that Pioli has to be a damn good evaluator that sees the types of players that fit into the Patriots system in order for the Patriots evaluation process to work as well as it does.
