Bill Belichick will not be a part of the New England Patriots draft decision for the first time in over two decades Thursday night.
But Belichick did give a glimpse into how he stacks up the best prospects in the draft while appearing on “Pat McAfee’s 5th Annual Draft Spectacular” show.
It’s interesting to see where Belichick has certain Patriots targets ranked in his top 42 big board. By all accounts, the Patriots will use the No. 3 overall pick on North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye. Like many others in the media, Belichick sees Maye as the third-best quarterback — and fifth-best prospect overall — on the board behind Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels, who are expected to be drafted with the top two picks.
