He's been a notoriously poor early round drafter.
He's had many picks 3rd round & lower that turned into solid, long career pros.
Particularly D line, O line, & linebackers.
Totally agree though that he whiffed on several first round picks.
One other thing I considered was McDaniel.
The offense evolved to maximize the strengths of Brady. McDaniel now knows exactly what skillset is ideal because they had the archetype for 20 years.
McDaniel may have had a lot of influence over this.
