Belichick talks draft on NFL Sirius
Some great nuggets in the transcription done by Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe, highly recommend you check it out. One highlight:
[T]hat’s just kind of the trend in college football these days. You don’t see a lot of true linebackers at the end of the line on their feet. Most of them play with their hand down and you have to make that decision with the Robert Quinns and the Justin Houstons of the world and all those guys…how well you think they can play on their feet or how much you want to play them down. We dealt with that last year when we drafted Jermaine Cunningham but when you look through the league just about everybody’s got those players and last year it was like Koa Misi down in Miami…you just have to project how well those guys are going to be able to play on their feet or how much you want to just leave them down and treat them pretty much as defensive ends even though you have a 3-4 base defense. Those are tough evaluations but they’re there every year.
