I'm not really too impressed with what Belichick does with the wealth of picks he seems to have every year.

Well I for one love the strategy... I'm totally fine with Baldwin but if we could have dropped to 38 for a 2nd and a first next year I would have jizzed.

He tends to go for value -- alot of picks in the 2nd and 3rd rounds -- rather than moving up to get a stud. Moving back and letting GB get Matthews is the only really obvious miss in this process. Last year in the 2nd round he got a stud TE in Gronk after moving back in the 1st and then getting Devin McCourty. He also took our starting MLB, who seems to be in the good-not-great realm, and a stud 4th round TE who fell because he had some pot issues and was a bit raw. No question it was an absolutely awesome draft. No question that some drafts sucked, such as 2006. But overall the Pats are making MORE picks in rounds 1-3 than any other team, and over time, that is going to be an advantage as long as his picks pan out average. In other words, all else being equal, more picks early translates to better players in the long run. That's the philosophy, and I agree 100%. Everyone strikes out sometimes, but if you have more at-bats than the next guy...

Colin Cowherd was bitching this morning about BB. That's all I need to know it's a good strategy.

It saves them 1st round money and allows them to get a lot of players that contribute.
They can take that extra money and keep their vets or spend on a FA they really like. |

And this. Belichick hates spending first-round money, as if he's cracking open his own wallet, LOL. 1st round = expensive boom-or-bust "stars". 2nd round and after = where you build your team. |

It's not like he's expanding his "house money" though; in the example, the 1st next year is essentially equivalent to the 2nd this year and 1st next year. The pie stays the same size in terms of overall value.
