Not everything has been peachy during Bill Belichick's time as the New England Patriots' head coach, and a few instances make that very obvious.

Although most focus on the unbelievable success the organization has achieved over the last 23 years, primarily the six Super Bowl wins, there are some bad decisions made by the head coach that seemingly fly under the radar.

Outside of the obvious events discussed over the years, like Spygate, Deflategate, etc., Belichick has made some incredible mistakes when signing or trading for players throughout his time in Foxboro.

He may be credited with drafting some of the greats (Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Dont'a Hightower, and more), but he should also be criticized for the players that were a complete disaster.

Several lists on the internet rank such players, but these four stand out the most for one reason or another, and none of them are good.
