Take Dennard and Talib for example. Both are headcases off the field. Talib is injury prone. What happend? Their good for them, but now Dennard is looking at 5 years in prison for punching a cop, and Talib missed almost as many games as he played in NE with hip and hamstring problems.
In the draft Belichick took tavon wilson in the 2nd round, a guy whom all the other scouts and analysts had as a 6-7th rounder.
When they address need, its been a miss for them defensively. Offensively it hasn't.

They also said that about Tom Brady, Terrelle Davis, Alfred Morris, Adrian Foster, and a whole lot of others. No one now is claiming he should have gone in the 6th or 7th. He still has flaws, mainly struggling with play action and getting deep off of it, but played decent for them this year. He still has plenty of upside to continue to progress, and has the ability to play almost every secondary position.
It might be comparing apples to oranges since they play different positions. But do you want Bobbie Massie in the first, as analysts had him for the draft, or Tavon Wilson in the second? Massie was terrible this year, and had trouble getting a starting job in Arizona with their horrible O-line.
Listening to draft analysts is about as good at times as listening to Vinny act like he understands the draft.
