It comes down to patience not to reach for something shiny.
BB doesn't try to take shortcuts.

And, The Pats are obviously the best at player development that anyone has ever seen.

True. Just look at Jamie Collins. In my opinion best LB in the game. Amazing development.

Sean thinks that he can match that coaching with Vitt, Johnson... Yeah, good luck with that.

Yet another player from our very own back yard and under SP's nose.

We picked Vaccaro in the 1st, and Roger took our 2nd rounder. Collins was picked 8 spots later.

Had we had that pick, we may have very well picked Collins.

Possibly. But Payton get's a pass because of Goodell's Bountygate Beatdown...

Our second round selection was forfeit then...

Then again, this was before reality of not having a complementary defense hit him two years ago...

Every pick was defense except Kenny Stills.
