It’s been a long time since the New England Patriots were a competitive team. Bill Belichick failed to keep this team afloat once Tom Brady left. He didn’t do a good job in the NFL Draft, and the way he handled his coaching staff also set the team back years.

Case in point, missing out on Ladd McConkey in last year’s draft. The Patriots moved back, making a trade with the LA Chargers, who took the burgeoning star wideout. With the picks received from that deal, the Patriots took Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker instead. So they’ve been listening to all the “I told you so” rants over McConkey ever since.
