Bill Belichick would like to see NFL draft lottery after Giants win sparks debate

How the NFL determines its draft order has become a hot topic after the Giants’ win over the Colts on Sunday contributed to them falling all the way from the No. 1 spot to fourth — and out of a clear path to pick quarterback Shedeur Sanders, quarterback Cam Ward and two-way star Travis Hunter in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Giants’ win Sunday shook up the draft order with the Patriots now first, the Titans second and the Browns third with all four teams at 3-13.

“I was never involved in tanking but I don’t know what happens somewhere else,” Belichick said during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday. “It’s different than the NBA. The NBA kind of rectified that by having a lottery. So even if you’re the worst team, you’re not guaranteed the first pick. In the NFL, that’s not quite the case. If you are the worst team, you do get the first pick.”

Bill Belichick never had to be concerned about tanking with the Patriots, and he’d like to see the NFL make a simple rule change to ensure fewer teams are tempted to do so.
