Bill Belichick's history of drafting WRs is cringe-worthy, but New England will probably be back in the WR market for the 2022 NFL Draft. luchvain breaks down and grades every WR the Patriots have drafted since 2009. FrontOffice33 | GoPats
Bill Belichick has been lauded as one of the more brilliant football minds in the history of the NFL. His coaching pedigree can’t be denied; however, Belichick as a general manager is a more nuanced being. His drafting history, albeit a few late-round gems, has been precarious, to say the least. When looking at the wide receivers that Belichick has selected over the course of his tenure as general manager, that prestigious reputation takes even more of a hit.
I looked back into every wide receiver that Belichick has selected since he took complete and utter control of personnel decisions in 2009 and graded each pick. The grading criteria had a lot to do with the draft position and what was still available on the board at the time. Additionally, injuries and future impact were accounted for during the grading process.Context: Tom Brady suffered a torn ACL injury in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, which put a damper on much of the 2008 season.
The highlight of the draft from that position group was Antonio Brown in the latter half of the sixth round. While Brown ended up finding his way onto the Patriots roster later in his career, I’m sure that Belichick and the other 30 general managers in the NFL wish they used an earlier selection on the future Hall of Famer.: Price played just one full season with the Patriots. He caught three passes to go for 41 yards. His career ended just a year later, and he was out of the NFL.
