And that worked out so well that he went out and got Moss and Welker, after the last 2 year hiatus from the Super Bowl.
And since 2005, they've obtained a grand total of one impact player in the draft---Mayo. Maroney's been mostly a bust. Other than Merriweather, is anyone from the 2007 draft still on the roster? The pick of this year's draft looks like Vollmer, but you need more than one impact player every other year out of the draft.
Brady and Moss only have a few years left, and if these kids like Butler, Wheatley, Merriweather, Wilhite, Chung, McKenzie etc don't pan out......
So far their best DB has been Bodden, a journeyman out of a Division 1-AA school.
