The 2024 NFL Draft has arrived and one of the best things about it this year is that former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is a part of the draft coverage. Working as an analyst for the Pat McAfee Show, we learned on Thursday night who Belichick views as the best players in the 2024 NFL Draft.

That’s right, Belichick didn’t stop scouting prospects just because he was let go by the Patriots. Despite not being hired by a single NFL team, Belichick dove into the tape and evaluated all of the best players in this year’s class and created his own big board.
