(eight starters including two All Pros in the first and second round over four drafts. Show me another team that picks up eight starters over two rounds of the draft in a four year period it never happens) It happens when you let your talent go to other teams and try signing basement bargain free agents and then cut them to ride up the salary cap. Seymour for Vollmer. Both Players pro bowlers. So by letting Brandon Lloyd go And having Aaron Dobson as your starter it makes the Patriots a very good drafting team wow. How I see it as a season ticket holder is BS. You get weak at WR while adding Brandon Lloyd cap hit at 3.5 mil for next two years. The only good thing is Kraft saves that money while showing the fans he is spending to the cap. Dead money.
The fact is, you can't say "That's what happens when..." It DOESN'T happen. It is not a matter of trading away talent and getting compensated with high picks - that happened ONCE in this time period (Seymour). The rest of the picks came from all of that wheeling and dealing we all love to hate so much when watching Belichick draft. Some of your picks bust. That's true for the Patriots as well - their batting average isn't particularly good.
