3. Patriots aren’t changing their philosophy.
When Tom Brady left New England this offseason, some were worried that the Patriots would change how they operated. The drafting of Dugger is just an example that it’s business as usual in Foxboro.
Other teams may be skeptical about drafting a safety from a Division II school with their first pick in the draft. Not the Patriots, and not Bill Belichick. He focused in on his target and went right for him, and he doesn’t care that he hasn’t found great success with safeties in the second round. After Tavon Wilson and Jordan Richards, another coach may have stayed away. Not this one, though. Nothing is changing in New England.
