Over the last several years, the Patriots have had the unfortunate reality of dealing with more draft busts than hits, particularly when hoping to find their next superstar wide receiver. A big reason for that is Bill Belichick's stubbornness and apparent blindness to the much better talent left on the board when the Patriots are on the clock.
That has resulted in the N'Keal Harry selection over players like A.J. Brown and Deebo Samuel, and just a few years later, the addition of Tyquan Thornton, whom Belichick chose to trade up for, too.
Inevitably, Harry was traded during the 2022 season to the Bears and has since bounced around from team to team.
