They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!
Potential Patriot HoFers:

Brady - Automatic.
Gronk - Needs to stay healthy and productive for probably three more years.
Wilfork - Decent chance.
Mathew Slater - Decent chance.
McCourty - Outside shot, unlikely.

Possible, but the Ravens have been close in every game so you just have to presume they'll ruin that draft position with 4-5 wins somewhere.

The only silver lining to the Steelers blowing the Ravens game is that it may bump them down a few draft slots in the end.

Seymour would've been at least close but Belichick threw him away to take advantage of poor Al's senility.

The thing is though nobody really says Belichick is the sort of draft genius that spots and grabs future HoFs. He's not good at it and knows it, and his strategy is to load up on mid-level draft picks and try to play the odds through getting a lot of potential players.

I mean, first round draft pick lawrence maroney, lawl.

Everyone thought Maroney was going to be great though. And he was. For exactly half a season.

1. I did not say Ozzy is a bad drafter. I was merely questioning whether him drafting from a early spot is something other teams should "fear".
2. Please compare the spots from which Bill drafted and from where Ozzy was able to draft.
3. The draft is not about hitting on HoFers but about acquiring quality depth that allows you to win championships.
4. Additionally the difference between picking 1st and 32st can be reduced to the first overall pick, because if you that away, the 32st team will always pick on spot ahead. Based on that logic the question is how big the impact of such an pick would be, especially if you have filled the position with the by far highest impact (QB).

Belichicks worth isn't in drafting hall of famers, but in cobbling together teams from cast-offs and what others perceive to be poo poo.

It's pretty baffling watching what mid-level free agents do in that organization.

He means the 32nd pick in the first round will net a better player than the 1st pick in the 2nd round.

It's a very stupid point and he probably should have omitted it.

Team A is the first to draft, they get picks: 1,33,65,...
Team B is the last to draft, they get picks: 32, 64, ...

The big difference between A and B is that A get's the first draft pick, if you would remove that, they would be approximately have the same picks as Team B. Therefore the you can isolate the impact "Ozzy drafting from 1-5" has to the impact this one pick will have.

Guess what though. The value of having THE #1 PICK IN THE DRAFT is far greater than the difference between 32nd and 33rd, or 64th and 65, etc, etc.

I don't get why Patriots fans are talking about the 32nd pick like they're going to have it when it's really obvious that they won't.

That's right, the team that is the obvious front-runner for pick 32 is the Lions, because the Patriots were forced to forfeit their first round pick for cheating.

Sure it is, I never said anything to the contrary (actually I valued 32nd and 33rd as approximately the same).

Marty Hurney is a great example of this. Money in the first round: Julius Peppers, Chris Gamble, Jordan Gross, Thomas Davis, DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart, Jeff Otah, Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly. That is an amazing group of players. The rest of his picks though...

Sorry but that makes no sense. If he were this gifted drafter god the Ravens would have won more than 2 Super Bowls/Conference titles and 4 division titles and a .561 win rate in the regular season. Compared to drafting from 32 even being the first to draft "only" gets you one special player and if you already have a QB that only gets you so far.
