Louisville Football: 6 ACC Players Picked In PFF’s 2017 NFL Mock Draft
By Derek Snyder
5. Tennessee Titans: WR, Mike Williams
If you watched any of Clemson’s football games this season, then you know Mike Williams is one bad man. Williams dominated the College Football Playoff and solidified himself as a top ten draft pick in April.
Take a look at what Pro Football Focus had to say about Williams in their Mock Draft:
"“Like the Browns, the Titans have leverage in the first round with picks at five and 18, and while a cornerback should certainly be on their radar, the depth at the position may allow them to pick one up later in the round. Instead, they go with Williams to provide a big target for QB Marcus Mariota. Williams can win in the possession game, using his big body to win the position battle against cornerbacks on slants and posts but he also has the body control to win in contested, downfield situations. That combination led to the No. 3 receiving grade among FBS receivers in 2016 as Williams was Deshaun Watson’s go-to guy on their national championship run.”"
I actually really like this move for the Titans going into 2017. It would give Marcus Mariota a true number one receiver that is ready to come into the league and play at a high-level. I don’t see the Calvin Johnson comparisons, but he is going to be an All-Pro wide receiver in his own right.
