Since the departure of Tom Brady in 2020 however, you are hearing that moniker being thrown around less and less. Now all of sudden, Patriots fans don’t trust Belichick. Especially when it comes to personnel decisions and how he structures his coaching staff. Patriots fans have…

April 18, 2022

Trade down. The two words Patriots fans despise this time of year. I get it. It is sexier and more fun if Bill Belichick trades up. He has done it 28 times, far more than any Patriots fan probably ever thought he has. He has also traded down 28 times. The Patriots currently have eight picks in this draft. Four of those picks are in the fifth and sixth rounds…….
