Bill Belichick on Patriots No. 3 overall pick QB Drake Maye: "Drake compares himself a lot to Josh Allen. ... We'll see about that. I think there are some comparisons with size and athleticism, but Josh Allen is a pretty special player." "A very talented kid. Good size, runs well, has a good arm. Just he hasn't played very much. He really doesn't have a lot of experience. He makes some big plays. ... He's gonna need some work in reading defenses, reading coverages."

Hasn’t played a ton, leaves the pocket too easily, hesitant to throw into tight windows
Doesn't stay in the pocket long enough. Tendency to give up on receivers too quickly.
Can make all the throws but needs experience. Hasn't played a ton.
Basically said he pulls too quick off receivers. Needs more practice reading defenses. Hasn’t played enough.
Bill thought Josh Allen sucked too, so miss me with the "oh he's a special player".
Put me down as Maye being a bust. I wasn’t ever impressed with him when I watched UNC. He picked apart weaker defenders and struggled with adversity of the slightest notion.
I mean the highlights are basically - good play, bad play, good play, bad play
Then saying they all have stuff to work on
The former is interesting tape dissection, later is just draft talk
Edit - then praises endlessly MHJ. Lol. So MHJ is gonn be N’Keal
Should have traded back. I wonder if there was pressure from the Krafts to pick a QB
Yeah it's pretty obvious this would have been a draft where BB traded out of the top 20, picked up future picks, and maybe taken Nix and a couple OLs. He is not a fan of this class.
To be fairrrrrrrr, that shot is still one of my favorite images ever, especially when it happened in real time
So used to trading down, taking an unknown guy from a D2 school in the 2nd who has no tape and just picked up football a year ago and he's 25. And also there's some Nazi posts on his Twitter. It's a new day.
Josh Allen did suck. He's a special player because he learned not to suck.
I'd watch a broadcast that was just Bill and a maybe one or two other smart guys. The rest of the guys on that McAfee show are clowns.
I just meant it as him saying negative things about Maye isn’t anything different he had to say about Caleb or Daniels
He was already good when Bill talked shit about him to the broadcast crew.
