The New England Patriots worst season in two decades prompted media members to question de facto general manager Bill Belichick about his recent draft blunders. In a widely-panned look, he got defensive and refused to acknowledge that these mistakes have really contributed to the team’s current roster deficiencies.

Unfortunately for Belichick, you don’t have to look further than the third round of the 2020 draft to identify a pair of his most damning missteps, when he selected tight end tandem Devin Asiasi and Dalton Keene to presumably play a prominent role on the offense right away.
