Does it really matter?

They recognized the coach they hired was a poor choice and didnt waste time making changes. They saw Vabrel available and did what was necessary. They could have very easily blamed the roster for the teams lack of success and stood pat with Mayo as HC. Would have been a terrible decision. They went from back to back 4-13 seasons to 13-3.

The previous regime did get one thing right, they drafted Maye and the new regime started a rebuild right away. I imagine WR will be very high on the list this draft and it’s a good one for it. Boutte would be a fine #2 but they need a stud #1. Then watch that offense really take off.

NE is going to be a thorn in our side again.

I think Maye is going to be excellent. And I think Vrabel will set a great tone as the head honcho.

But if they don't start drafting better...it may not matter all that much. Maye, Gonzalez, and Campbell. That's not a lot of impact guys out of several draft classes in a row. At some point that is going to matter as the Patriots attempt to enter the upper echelon of SB contenders.

Now since the Steelers are still climbing into mediocrity...yes, the Patriots will beat them annually for a bit.
