Figuring that not only would Baldwin be available later, he would end up being the better NFL player. So does that mean we can also assume Belichick is a terrible judge of football talent?

If we take every person's worst take over 20+ years of making tons of predictions, it's not surprising they've got some stinkers. I'm not even defending Kiper, but cherry-picking his worst is a terrible way to try to criticize him.
