Bill Belichick held his annual pre-draft press conference at Gillette Stadium on Wednesday (10 a.m. ET), and said one thing that stands out to him about the 2006 draft is the lack of history on some of the top prospects.
“There are more guys who have less production, less history -- particularly early with some of the higher-rated players. They just haven’t had the opportunity, for one reason or another, to perform as much or as long as historically what you would see in other drafts relative to those grade levels. But we're all working on the same [players].”
We’ll have more from Belichick in a bit, including his thoughts that the linebacker position is deeper than years past.
