I think New England really cocked up their draft. Trading down is, for the most part, overrated unless you are getting 1sts or 2nds at some point, or a third that year. The Patriots have far fewer holes than draft picks and a lack of impact players on their defense, and when it came time for their selection, I think they took the 5th or 6th best CB in the draft.

I think that Belichick has become so used to trading down that he's oblivious to the value that is staring him right in the face.

Fair point on Best. I can respect that opinion.

I just like the fact they are trying to improve their team by taking playmakers, and not drafting based solely on need.
