The Patriots just seem to draft better because they stockpile compensatory picks thanks to people overestimating the talent because they win all the time.
Exactly. It's a vicious cycle. The rich just get richer. The Patriots make a late round draft pick trade for Trent Brown, coach him up and run a system that gets the ball out quickly and make him look better than he is, and then find a sucker in the Raiders to grossly overpay him. The Giants did the same thing the year before with Nate Solder. And then the Patriots get a premium comp pick to restock while the dummies overpay a mediocre player.
