When New England Patriots head coach/general manager Bill Belichick held his annual pre-draft press conference last week he did not go into too much detail. He said the same about the quarterback class as last year, spoke about value as the basis of his team’s decision making, and went only through hypotheticals when discussing potential trades.
While there were no groundbreaking statements or deep dives into the organization’s pre-draft process, Belichick did pull back the curtains a little bit: at one point during his opening statement, he recognized the men who are doing the heavy lifting this spring.
