The Value of Bill Belichick

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has become one of the greatest coaching masterminds in NFL history, and much of this future Hall of Famer’s success has come with his skill in scooping up cheap draft picks that have turned into phenomenal assets to the team. From his faith in backup quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Matt Cassel to picking up players like Mike Vrabel, Wes Welker and Randy Moss at relatively inexpensive costs, Belichick has proven his value as an accredited part of the Patriots since his arrival in 2000, becoming a priceless part of the team.

Belichick’s importance to the New England dynasty was recently reinforced in a list of Top 10 personnel moves the Patriots have made since the franchise’s inception. Among these 10 trades/signs on the list, five of them are included in the Bill Belichick years – these counting the additions of Corey Dillon (No. 9), Rodney Harrison (No. 7), Mike Vrabel (No. 6), Wes Welker (No. 5) and Randy Moss (No. 2) under the steering of Captain Belichick. Number one on this list shows the value of Bill Belichick like none else, however, as the Patriots’ 2000 trade for a first round pick to pick up the rights to Belichick comes in at the top of the list of the best personnel moves in Patriots history.
