Watch: Bill Belichick has cold reaction to Patriots' selection of QB Drake Maye

Then, Belichick lightly criticized Maye for often comparing himself to Buffalo Bills two-time Pro Bowler Josh Allen. 

"We'll see about that," Belichick said. "I think there are some similarities in terms of size and athleticism — Josh Allen is a pretty special player, now." 

As if that wasn't enough, after briefly reviewing some of Maye's positive plays, Belichick highlighted a few weaknesses, including his tendency to bail out of the pocket early while giving up on receiver routes too early. 

It wasn't all bad. Belichick called Maye talented and lauded him for his size, running ability and arm strength. Overall, the legendary ball coach believes the former ACC Player of the Year has the traits to be a successful starting quarterback in the NFL, but he still has concerns. 

"He really doesn't have a lot of experience," Belichick said. "He makes some big plays — he's going to need some work in reading defenses, reading coverages."
