Everybody knows draft picks are a highly sought after commodity in the NFL, because they help you add young talent to your team and they are under contract cheap for at least 4 years.

Isn’t Belichick the greatest coach of all time? And how has he done since the greatest QB of all time left his team?

Coaches have a role in a teams success. But ultimately it’s the players on the field and how they perform that determines wins and losses.

There is a boatload of qualified coaches out there. Just so happens there are rules that directly benefit your team if you hire minority coaches. So why not maximize your opportunities to improve the team?

The Ravens turned the two draft picks they got from losing David Culley into 3 draft picks with a trade. And have 3 starters on their #1 seed team to show for it. C, CB, and P.

All coaches have ups and downs even the great ones.. and i give more credit to HC i think than you do on success of a team, they have a big influence with being one the main people in being the puzzle maker of the team ie drafting the right players, improving the players, free agent picks, building the culture of a winning team etc.

For example look at NE, Bill was great find mid picks that were successful in his system, hell Brady is a great example, he helped mold him into the player he became, how about the Oline which tended to be a positive area during Bills tenure, NE was one of the least likely teams to take a Oline in 1st or 2nd round. Bill had a great success with mid picks over his career. A big part of the downfall of NE under him was the drafts of late were subpar for sure.
