Belichick Loves his Value Picks

The Great Bill Belichick
I figured I would devote a blog to my favorite man in football after day 2 of the NFL draft, because he absolutely deserves it.  His picks are always considered either good or too complicated for thought for analysts because they don't want to go on record and doubt him, because they feel he must know something they don't.  He is a secondary coach by trade so when he takes Ras I Dowling over guys like Aaron Williams and Brandon Harris (who dropped too far by my standards), he must know something we don't especially after we saw how good Devin McCourty play last year.  Let us not forget all of the other young talent we have drafted recently at cornerback that hasn't panned out yet such as Darius Butler, Jonathan Wilhite, Terence Wheatley.   The jury is still out on 2 of them where I am pretty sure Wheatley is not even on the roster anymore.  If anything Bill Belichick loves his value picks and picking up Ryan Mallett at #75, who I definitely thought the Bengals would take at #35 as they love a good off the field train wreck, is a great move.  I think that he has very good potential and to get him in the third round, Mallett maybe the most pro ready quarterback in this draft.
I think he overshot on the two running backs, but who am I to doubt the genius of Belichick.  They are too different type of backs and from what I have seen of Ridley he will be used in more of the role of Green-Ellis where Vereen is in the mold of Woodhead.  It seems the backfield is getting a bit full, so it will be interesting to see how this will work out for the coming season.
