Mark Maske of the Washington Post scored some Belichick quotes on the draft in his column today:
He's referring to Malcolm Jenkings of Ohio State, thought to be the best corner in next week's draft.
Also, on safeties in general:

"Some of those hybrid guys have played corner and safety -- like Jenkins, for example, is a guy that's played both," New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick said at the combine. "What his best fit is for a team, where he's most valuable, is certainly an interesting discussion for all teams."
He's referring to Malcolm Jenkings of Ohio State, thought to be the best corner in next week's draft.
Also, on safeties in general:
"I think the safety position is becoming more and more of a corner position in the National Football League," Belichick said. "There were times when some of the safeties, particularly the strong safeties, fit more like linebackers than they did as defensive backs. I think that's changed gradually. . . . Your defensive backs, they either have to cover wide receivers, or they have to cover tight ends who are very good in the passing game. . . . I think the demands of that position have changed. I think that's changed the evaluation a little bit."
