New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick could go one of many different directions with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
One of the seemingly obvious choices would be for Belichick to land a would-be heir apparent to now-Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, which would make some sense. Yet there’s plenty of indication the Pats are ready to roll out second-year pro Jarrett Stidham as the starter this season.
Even if that’s the case, one could guess Belichick would take advantage of a deep wide receiver draft class in Round 1 or, at the very least, solve another need by grabbing one of the handful of quality pass-rushers early, as there aren’t too many of those after day one.
