[QUOTE="gemoran4, post: 564610, member: 10047"] I think it hasn't helped (having so few players pan out in those drafts), but as long as TT follows up with some strong drafts it doesn't bother me too much. What team hasn't had a weak draft here or there? The New England Patriots have had more than their fair share of busts in recent drafts (they ended up having to sign free agent corners because they couldn't draft any that were good enough to man the positions). And perhaps winning the superbowl had something to do with it. The staff got too comfortable with what they had (a young team that had performed at a high level on both sides of the field the latter half of the season and in the playoffs) that they didn't go into the 2011 draft as prepared as they usually had been. Then after the 2011 season they realized they needed to shore up the front seven, and went heavy defense in the 2012 draft. Couple that with the fact that TT has never been amazing at drafting defensive players (he's gotten a few like clay matthews and nick collins but i feel like his defensive picks have always been more miss than hit) and you have a recipe for two poor drafts.
