Rebuilding strategy, forty-niners or saints?

Not sure that's true. The Pats tried a retread vet QB first (Cam Newton) before eventually drafting two first round QBs. Both attempted to keep rolling with a retread, the Pats timeline to a high draft pick (or two) at the position was just accelerated compared to ours

Yep. I’m also not sure the Patriots’ approach was even intentional. It wasn’t some sort of strategy, they just sucked.

They accidentally stumbled into being horrible by a long run of bad drafting and not being able to attract many free agents, and this started even when Brady was there; he just helped mask it.
