15 Years Ago Today

Late round draft picks are often looked as a crap shoot by team officials. The league gives each team less time for their selection compared to the opening rounds.

Today is the 15 year anniversary of the Pats drafting Tom Brady in the 6th round. He was a compensatory pick and the second selection by the Pats during the round.

Brady's name was called on the 199th pick. There were six quarterbacks taken before him. Some never played a game in the NFL.

The draft is filled with stories like this. It happens every year.
