[QUOTE="PWT36, post: 145753, member: 170"] [b]Re: Should the Pack still look for a playmaker above all els[/b] There was an article in Green Bay Press-Gazette by Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press on April 23, 2007 entitled "Fans focus too much on first round." He traced the Patriots first round draft choices since 1997. . Rosenburg writes: Quote "Do the names Logan Mankins, Vince Warren, Ben Watson, Ty Warren, Dan Graham, Richard Seymour, Damien Woody, Andy Kaizenmeyer, Robert Edwards, Tubucky Jones, and Chris Canty mean anything to you. Those are the New England partiots 11 first round draft choices since 1997. Of them, five remain with the Patriots. One of those is a pro bowler, Seymour is a perennial Pro Bowler. New England is the model franchise in the NFL. Second, the Patriots first round record is quite good. Wilfork is an above-average starter. Graham was productive before leaving for Denver in free agency. Yet the Patriots got only one perennial pro Bowler out of the 11 first round draft picks. The moral of the story? We inevitably make way too much of the top picks. First round draft choices are only one of several ingredients in building a championship team.'" unquote Yet considering the above, the New England Patriots are the most successful franchise since 2001.
