1. Mike Williams– Clemson

The obvious number one receiver in the NFL Draft, Mike Williams had a great year for Clemson in 2016, finishing the year with 98 catches for 1,361 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Unfortunately, quarterback Deshaun Watson struggled a bit with his accuracy on the deep ball, which prevented Williams from some even bigger numbers on the year.

Williams is a big target at 6’4″, 218 pounds. He’s exceptionally good at bringing in contested balls, which makes him an incredible red zone threat, especially with his size.

Next: Could Anquan Boldin return to Baltimore?

Overall, Williams’ only weakness has been his tendency to drop balls on occasion, and if he can work on that, he could be a stud in the NFL. If somehow Williams falls to the Ravens at the 16th pick, it’d be hard for them to pass up on him.
