The almost perfect Belichick wiffed on that one.........he was drafted in the third round in '11. Plus there was considerable speculation last year and the off season he could be traded for a 2nd.

Note, several sites are reporting the Texans are giving a 6th............CBS Sports Radio just said that's incorrect......it's a conditional 7th.

He's whiffed on a lot of things. This is a complete non-story.

He didn't whiff on Garappalo

Didn't Mallett's dad say that Miami promised they would trade up to take him in the 2nd round if he was available? And then he blew a gasket when they took Thomas instead.

I was pissed they drafted Thomas over me.

You can confirm that after one pre season?

just a feeling, plus I already was a fan of his before he was drafted.

Yep and 4 years ago he "stole" Mallett in the 4th. He is a genius cause of Brady, plain and simple. He has whiffed a lot and he hasn't won anything since he "got caught stealing"!

...except for 5 straight AFC East Division titles, including trips to two AFC Championship games and a Super Bowl.

They are probably still cheating....

They did not win the Sb though since they got caught cheating. Impressive, but losers non the less. the difference between them and the worse team is a lower draft pick....

Just proves my point .... he is no Cameron , eh I mean Sparano , eh I mean Philbin.

What befuddled me is why this is on the front page of ESPN? The Pats traded a nobody for a sucky draft pick. Whooptydooda
