The Read: Williams is a compact explosive separator with real vertical juice, a monster Washington State finish, and enough early NFL splash to keep the dynasty candle lit. The Patriots did not spend third-round capital on a decoy, but the Year 2 thesis is still role conversion: turn rotational explosives and return work into a weekly receiver package tied to Drake Maye’s downfield aggression.

Risk ShapeRole consolidationThe rookie line had fireworks, not volume. He still has to win enough route share to move from efficient spark to real fantasy lever.
