Did Tom Brady pull a Bill Belichick in the draft? TB12’s bold move that shook up the Raiders QB room

The Las Vegas Raiders‘ 2025 NFL Draft has drawn comparisons to one of the most pivotal moments in football history, with Tom Brady playing a role eerily similar to that of his former coach, Bill Belichick, 25 years ago. So you can say he learned from his former coach very well.

Brady, now a minority owner of the Raiders, reportedly pushed for the selection of North Dakota State quarterback Cam Miller in the sixth round, a move that some analysts are calling the “steal of the year”. The decision has raised questions about the future of Geno Smith, who recently signed a two-year, $75 million contract to be the team’s starter.

The parallels to Brady’s own NFL journey are striking. In 2000, Belichick quietly drafted Brady in the sixth round despite having Drew Bledsoe, a former No. 1 overall pick, locked into a record-setting contract. Though Bledsoe was expected to lead the Patriots for years, Belichick had other plans. When Bledsoe suffered an injury early in the 2001 season, Brady stepped in and never looked back, leading New England to six Super Bowl titles.

Now for now, what to do for he future

Now, Brady appears to see something of himself in Miller. Raiders general manager John Spytek revealed that Brady was impressed with Miller’s throwing mechanics and believed he had the potential to improve. Miller, a proven winner with two FCS national championships, joins a quarterback room that also includes Aidan O’Connell and fellow rookie Tommy Mellott.

NFL experts Andrew Mize and Nick Rudman have praised the Raiders’ decision, calling Miller a player Raider Nation should keep an eye on. While Smith remains the presumed starter, Brady’s endorsement of Miller has fueled speculation about the team’s long-term plans at quarterback.

As the Raiders enter a new era under Brady’s influence, the question remains: Could history repeat itself? If Miller develops into a legitimate contender, Smith may find himself in a situation reminiscent of Bledsoe’s two decades ago. For now, all eyes are on Miller as he begins his NFL journey, with Brady watching closely.
