New England head coach Bill Belichick has admitted not taking a quarterback in the Patriots' first post-Tom Brady draft "was not by design".
The Patriots selected 10 players in the 2020 NFL Draft, but no quarterbacks to compete for the starting job that was held for two decades by six-time Super Bowl champion Brady, 42, who signed with Tampa Bay last month.
New England currently have second-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham, a fourth-round draft pick from Auburn in 2019, and 34-year-old veteran Brian Hoyer as they're top two options at the position.
"The bottom line is that we're evaluating that position along with all the other ones," Belichick said, when asked about not drafting a quarterback.
