The ultimate must watch Patriots All-Access, the draft edition. Great behind the scenes stuff, including my favorite guy, Ernie Adams. Mike Reiss points out:
Bill Belichick’s longtime friend going back to their days at Phillips Andover Academy, Ernie Adams, is the team’s football research director. When trades were discussed, Adams was seen writing them on the board as a key person in the draft room. Even in just a few minutes of draft footage, it’s easy to see how much Belichick trusts and values Adams’ opinion. It was Adams, after a deal couldn’t be struck for the No. 33 pick, who looked at Belichick and said “Let’s pick him” in reference to cornerback Ras-I Dowling.
