Throughout Bill Belichick's tenure as the head coach and general manager of the New England Patriots, he became known for how he handled roster building and his impressive record in evaluating talent to make the right decisions for the team. The most notable aspect of all was his apparent insight into when it was best to move on from a player who had once been a pillar of the team; however, the same could not be said about how he handled the draft.
He managed to pile up more misses than hits when it came to selecting rookies to add to the team before the upcoming season, particularly later in his career, which earned him an unfavorable reputation before leaving the NFL for UNC.
