Stat that is mind-boggling to me

The Patriots are really the only team I've seen consistently do the right thing in free agency: they never overpay, they never go for underachievers with one good season or "needing a change of scenery," and if they do actually go after a big name they always make sure the guy is going to fit into their system. And yet they still do the majority of their team building through the draft, as all the best teams do.

Judging by the actions of the Saints in the last couple of years I thought they were trying to use the same formula.... guess the Pats beat us to the players??
