Belichick's Best: Ranking His Top Sixth Round Draft Picks With Patriots
BOSTON (CBS) - After resigning as HC of the NYJ in January 2000, head coach Bill Belichick was quickly hired by the New England Patriots and given near-complete control over the team's football operations by owner Robert Kraft.
Belichick is the longest-tenured NFL head coach, and entering his sixteenth season at the helm of the four-time Super Bowl winning Patriots, he's about to make his stamp on yet another NFL Draft.
Leading up to the draft, which starts on Thursday April 29th, 98.5 The Sports Hub's Scott Zolak and Marc Bertrand dig deep into the Patriots draft history and rank the best players Belichick has chosen in a given round.
Belichick's Best: Ranking His Top Seventh Round Draft Picks With Patriots
On Thursday morning, the radio duo tackled Round 6. Belichick has drafted 22 Patriots in the second-to-last round of the NFL Draft, and really only one of them has worked out. (Spoiler alert: it's Tom Brady)
This might be Belichick's worst round.
