Back in the 2024 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots spent two fairly high draft picks at the wide receiver position. With neither Ja’Lynn Polk nor Javon Baker showing much during their rookie seasons and with a new coaching staff coming to town, however, the need for more investment remained heading into the 2025 offseason.
The Patriots ended up making several moves to bolster the position group, including selecting Washington State’s Kyle Williams with the 69th overall pick in the third round of the draft.
