A .708 winning percentage since 2000 would indicate otherwise.

Well, I was referring more to their personnel decisions (based on the whole "eye for talent" thing)

2006-2008 they had 26 draft picks. Of those 26 picks, 16 are not on the Patriots anymore (some aren't even in the NFL). So basically my point was yes they stock up on draft picks which is great because even though 16 aren't even on the team anymore, 10 are. I mean you look at the Redskins 2004-2006 we only had 16 total picks.

So they put themselves in position to make mistakes with their "eye for talent" But I think a lot of people assume that because Tom Brady was a 6th round pick, the Pats have the magic touch when it comes to picking players.
