you are talking about the guy that drafted Brandon Meriweather, Larwrence Marony and other awful scrubs while he was there.
then he leaves and BB magically drafts two stud TEs, Mallet, Ridley and tons of young defensive studs in Hightower, Jones, McCourty, Spikes, and trades for Talib. Things Pioli would never, ever, do

The college scouting director was the problem. You will see that the strength of new england drafts is highly correlated with the draft success. I hate pioli, but his job wasn't to scout. It was to digest scouting reports sent to him based on sound bytes picked by the scouting director. Pioli did well most of his time in new England. But we didn't get the pioli. We got the pioli that decided he was going to be pioli and bellichick at the same time.
