When Belichick has a first round pick, he's like a dungeons & dragons nerd with an exotic supermodel in his bed. He just doesn't know what to do and messes it up.

Cole Strange vs. Travis Jones.  Ouch  : )

It is wild how the Patriots have underwhelming drafts seemingly every year, but it has never punished them because of Brady for so long.

Even without Brady, the suckage has yet to begin. Hopefully, the suckage starts soon. Last year, the free agency class kind of kept them propped up.

[bojanglesman]

I'm sure Strange will be a starter and do ok, but there was no need to take him in the first.  They should have just traded down until the second round, even if the deals weren't good.

The rumour is that Shanahan wanted him.

Well Kyle Shanahan didn't pick until 61. I feel safe in saying they weren't trading up to 40 to get him.

i also think we'll see that interest FA's have in the patriots still truly comes from brady's legacy/accomplishments rather than any truth in the 'patriot way/belichick genius' belief

[Heismanberg]

The rumour is that Shanahan wanted him.

Because he said he was a good player in a press conference?

McVay laughed and said they were hoping to get him at 104.

It was a horrendous reach.

And if you look at big free agent classes, historically they have done great in Year 1 and then fell apart in Year 2. We've seen this with the Jets, but it's also been league-wide.

Yes, I'm not trying to justify the pick but there is now some attempt at retconning it.

Patriots* fans and beat writers are trying to justify it

It’s an awful pick

[Derek Smalls]

Yes, I'm not trying to justify the pick but there is now some attempt at retconning it.

The revisionist history is that people say McVay was making fun of himself for thinking he might be there at 104.

But he was clearly shocked he went round 1. No way of rethinking that, even if other teams liked him.

Far be it from me to defend the Pats but I recall some people thinking Travis Frederick being an out of left field pick for the Cowboys and he stuck around as a quality starter.
