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.

Very interesting discussion on NFL Insiders w/ Judy Battista, Ian Rapoport, and Tom Palissero. Basically the Bill Parcells taskmaster coaching style isn’t wanted. They said watching Dan Campbell’s success they want young and always positive coaches. They said younger players these days just don’t relate to the older style. Well the Brown’s were ahead of the game because they got all that in multitudes with Zac Taylor. I’m sure Zac gleamed that to some degree from Sean McVay. They said it was helping Vrabel or Belichick.
