Bill Belichick turns 69 this Friday. How does his advanced age affect the draft?
The Patriots spent big bucks on free agency, quite the opposite of Belichick’s Modus Operandi. Were the Patriots spending to hasten the rebuild of the team and was that related to Bill’s advanced age? Will BB pull off a big trade-up to snag one of the top QB’s in the draft?
Unfortunately, I don’t believe Bill’s age will have anything to do with it. The spending on Free Agency was a brilliant stroke by Belichick. The Patriots had the cap space available. They spent the money on players that fit Belichick’s model.
