There is reaching, and then there is Mykel Williams at Round 2, Pick 29. The Patriots jumped the board by 86 and dared it to prove them wrong.

That Judkins pick is the receipt they will wave around later. 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

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Aireontae Ersery · OT · rank 82
In pick 30 they get a blindside protector, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Malaki Starks · S · rank 19
Malaki Starks at pick No. 41 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Isaiah Bond · WR · rank 35
Isaiah Bond at Round 2, Pick 19 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Mykel Williams · DE-EDGE · rank 147
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mykel Williams in the 61st pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Deone Walker · DT · rank 121
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Deone Walker. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.21 · Pick 85 · Donovan Jackson · OG · rank 168
Donovan Jackson in the Round 3 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.22 · Pick 86 · Jabbar Muhammad · CB · rank 110
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jabbar Muhammad this early at Round 3, Pick 22. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.7 · Pick 108 · Deontae Lawson · LB · rank 89
Steal is underselling it; Deontae Lawson at pick No. 108 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.17 · Pick 118 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 134
A reach for DeMonte Capehart in pick 118; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.6 · Pick 144 · Jonah Monheim · C · rank 189
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jonah Monheim well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.28 · Pick 166 · Quinshon Judkins · RB · rank 84
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Quinshon Judkins in the 166th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.4 · Pick 218 · Oscar Delp · TE · rank 245
Value said wait; Oscar Delp in slot 218 says they were not listening. It fills a real need, too.
R7.9 · Pick 223 · Mason Taylor · TE · rank 278
They reached into another round for Mason Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.25 · Pick 239 · Javontez Spraggins · OG · rank 268
They talked themselves into Javontez Spraggins at No. 239, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
