Patriots head coach Bill Belichick held a press conference before the draft on Thursday afternoon and the position of the quarterback was mentioned several times during his 20-minute speech in the media.
Belichick said early in the session that there are ‘many ways to do this’ when talking in a quarter, saying that teams need to adapt to the skills of the players rather than chasing trends surrounding the league. .
At the moment, the players available in New England are Cam Newton and Jarrett Stidham. Some have wondered if the group might grow in the first round of this month’s draft, but Belichick’s answer to a question about what he saw from this year’s group outlook did not give much hint.
“It’s definitely an interesting group,” Belichick said.
Belichick was asked if he would overtake a quarterback because he did not think he would pick later and said he would not rule it out, although he noted that would be true for a player in any position. . He had a similar response when it comes to possibly moving the board up, leaving things as open as it could be two weeks before the draft day.
