And the Patriots drafted O'Connel, Brisset and Mallet in the 3rd, Garoppolo in the 2nd, and a number of 4th round or later QBs during the Brady era. The 3 guys they drafted "high" not as high as the 1st obviously, were all traded to other teams and Garoppolo was traded as the insistence of Brady from what we can tell. O'Connel was the only one who was a wasted pick and it was the 94th overall pick.
If the Patriots traded up to take Geno Smith in the 1st round I assure you Brady would have thrown an absolute fit.
didnt know they traded up... But yeah trading away assets for a guy to sit the bench is kinda dumb... Unless he turns out to be the next aaron rodgers...
