There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Patriots started one anyway for Kyle Williams, 53 picks ahead of schedule. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Josh Simmons · OT · rank 18
In pick 17 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.24 · Pick 24 · Tyler Warren · TE · rank 17
In slot 24 they get a security blanket over the middle at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Jalon Walker · LB · rank 24
A slide stopped in the 38th overall pick, with Jalon Walker worth more than the price. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Donovan Ezeiruaku · DE-EDGE · rank 54
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Donovan Ezeiruaku. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Omarion Hampton · RB · rank 31
Omarion Hampton at pick No. 69 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Ozzy Trapilo · OT · rank 83
Ozzy Trapilo at the 77th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.4 · Pick 106 · Xavier Restrepo · WR · rank 106
No drama and no debate, Xavier Restrepo went about where he belonged in the 106th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.17 · Pick 119 · Kyle Williams · WR · rank 172
They reached into another round for Kyle Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.1 · Pick 217 · Jordan Hancock · S · rank 216
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Hancock at pick No. 217, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.4 · Pick 220 · Isaac TeSlaa · WR · rank 233
Isaac TeSlaa at Round 7, Pick 4 is a conviction pick that outran the value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.22 · Pick 238 · Ty Hamilton · DT · rank 254
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty Hamilton a notch or two before his time. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
