The New England Patriots made 10 selections during the 2020 NFL draft, but none of them were for a quarterback as the team moves on from the Tom Brady era.

In regard to that decision, head coach Bill Belichick said the following to reporters on a post-draft call, per ESPN's Mike Reiss:

"If we feel like we find the right situation, we'll certainly draft them. We've drafted them in multiple years, multiple points in the draft. Didn't work out the last three days. That wasn't by design.
