Why exactly do we want Nick Caserio back?
So this question may look, and even be, quite reactionary. The timing certainly makes it appear to be so.
But we know that the Patriots' drafting has been subpar at times. There are numerous easy and recent examples. One can look at the WRs taken after Harry. Or Michel versus Chubb (if not Lamar Jackson). Or the black hole in the second round.
Now one answer to the question might be that the buck stops with Bill so training our eyes on Caserio isn't fair. Another answer might be that he's done a fine job with NFL players off waivers and free agents, and UDFAs. And another might be that he's part of Team Belichick and who are we to question how the pieces fit together given all of the collective success.
But as I contemplate the many issues and challenges facing this organization, and the Texans prior and possibly current pursuit of Nick Caserio, I wondered if losing him would really be all that bad, particularly given the draft issues.
And make no mistake, I get that the drafts have not been uniformly bad.
Anyway, thoughts are welcomed.
