BOSTON (CBS) — We highlighted Bill Belichick’s draft misses, so now it’s time to give the guy some credit for his hits. He doesn’t have as many as his boy Bon Jovi, but Belichick could make a pretty good boxed set out of his draft hits.

 

It obviously starts with his first draft as HC of the NEP, but through the years Belichick has been able to add some key members of two dynastic runs through the draft. He’s been a bit shaky as of late, but maybe he can rekindle that old magic with 10 picks in the upcoming draft.

So without further ado, here are Bill’s Greatest Draft Hits:

What an absolute find. Flowers was a monster for the Patriots, racking up 21 sacks in his three full seasons of action. He also had 5.5 sacks in nine playoff games, winning a pair of Super Bowls during his time in New England.
