I don't even think Belicheck is a GREAT gm. He is good but his real genius is as a coach.

Will's assessment of Flowers is currents but…it's hard to blame Detroit when Flowers was the best they were going to get at a position of great need, in a time when money is not their biggest problem.

They need good players who are ready to buy into Matt Patricia's gameplan and capable of hitting the ground running with a minimum of hand-holding. They can't wait to find their starting DE in the 3rd or 4th round of the draft.

Meanwhile, Belicheck just went out and traded for Michael Bennett, who is older (and better) than Flowers. So yeah, he probably will draft a guy in the mid-rounds but it's Bennett who is replacing Flowers next year and possibly the one after.
