Yeah im arguing the years of no value...like mentioned above, bad orginizations make excuses. The cowboys have been much much better in the draft but the gambles in the second rd have had a lot of missed years...dlaw and smith(now with no drop foot) are good but took until end of first contract to produce
Hindsight is like etc etc man.
Here's the Pat's last five 2nd round selections for comparison:
2018 - Duke Dawson, CB - Didn't log a single snap this year.
2017 - No selection
2016 - Cyrus Jones, CB- Waived, no longer with team.
2015 - Jordan Richards, S - Lame, traded to Falcons for conditional 7th.
2014 - Jimmy Garoppolo, QB - Traded to 49ers for 2018 2nd round pick (used to select Duke Dawson).
2013 - Jamie Collins, LB - Probowl 2015, no longer with team, traded to browns for 3rd round pick. Aaron Dobson, WR - Waived, no longer in league.
I understand that the Pats generally select later in the round, but they are the gold standard in terms of well run organizations. I'd take our group any day.
