His greatest weakness is WR.

He also has a history of reaching for DB's though many of them have fared well while some have clung to and produced nothing.

I totally disagree on the DB's.
He has done an exceptional job even though not all make it.
So many of or released DB's

All in all BB does well, we all have to remember he was historically drafting late in rounds when talent was depleted. He is a master of the draft though. How many times have we seen him trade a player on the crest of being on the downside to pick up mid round pics. How many times have we seen his value the draft depth to give up one early round pick in exchange for three mid round picks

24 wins away from being #1.

Wait. I thought you wanted Bill fired immediately? He's too old and the game has past him by? No?

Yes, Yes and Yes. NO.

And I reserve the right to change my mind multiple times.

That and the gremlins have decided to try a breakout.

All good. I said a weakness that he sometimes reaches, but not his greatest weakness.
As an example...and I did not include anyone drafted in later rounds or who had decent success elsewhere.

2001 - 3rd Round- Brock Williams
Often injured, Finally played 10 games in '03 for his third team. Done. A reach.
2004 - 3rd Round - Gus Scott
11 games in 4 years for 6 teams. A reach.
2008 - 2nd R - Terrance Wheatley
4 teams in 5 years. 4 tackles, 2 passes defended. 4th rd Jonathan Wilhite had far better career numbers. A reach.
2011 - 2nd Rd - Ras-I Dowling

2015 - 2nd Rd - Jordon Richards

2016 - 2nd Rd - Cyrus Jones

2018 - 2nd Rd - Duke Dawson

2019 - 2nd Rd - Joejuan Williams

I see most of those as failures rather than reaches. Just my opinion.

A star baseball player fails 70% of the time.

It's fucking annoying for all of us reading through these posts. Sure we can ignore them as we peruse, but it's still fucking annoying.

Sure. Semantics.

 

[Southieinnc]

Sure. Semantics.

Is it?
Are you saying that all failures are a reach?

 

[YankeeRebel]

Every damn team has hit and misses in the draft this is not specific to one team or GM / Coach

 

[Yankee Traveler]

I'm saying don't over anal yze the word choice.

Bill is great (greater, greatest, GOAT...).
He drafts very well, usually.
He gets fantastic results out of DB's

Sometimes. Other times its a miss.
Not as often as he misses on WR's.

Fair enough but I differentiate between a failure and a reach.

I'll get you to proof read my posts going forward...???

Patriots signed RB Kevin Harris.​

Now this, this is a move that strongly says "Damien Harris won't be back soon." Harris was a sixth-round pick in last April's draft by New England, but was waived at last cuts and latched on to the practice squad. He has a chance to be active on Sunday, but Pierre Strong is probably in front of him to spell Rhamondre Stevenson.

Is that mols a nice man or mols an iceman?

Seriously, I ask myself every time I see your avatar.

I'm not correcting you. I'm just pointing out that what you posted had a different meaning to some of us than what I thought you intended. Now I think I understand what you thought you meant!

So Damien Harris to IR, Kevin Harris activated, if I seen Neal Patrick Harris added to roster I'm going to have issues
