Stephen A. Smith on Bill Belichick trading up for a quarterback: ‘He’d better’

It doesn’t matter that the New England Patriots only have the No. 15 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft and all the best quarterback prospects in the draft will likely be long gone by then.

During Friday morning’s “First Take” on ESPN, host Stephen A. Smith responded to comments Patriots coach Bill Belichick made about the team’s draft approach on Thursday, including whether or not New England would be prepared to trade up for a top quarterback in this year’s draft.
