2017 NFL Draft Positional Rankings: Final Offensive Rankings
By Jon Dove
Wide Receiver
Despite being seen as a top-20 pick, Mike Williams is still being undervalued by a lot of people. He has true No. 1 receiver potential and it’s just because he has good size. Williams is a fluid athlete who can also run clean routes.
However, his size and ability to win in contested situations are important. Williams is the type who’ll quickly become his quarterback’s favorite target.
Corey Davis isn’t far behind Williams as a prospect. He’s a more complete player who can attack all parts of the field. I love how aggressive he is with the ball in his hands. Davis doesn’t settle and is always looking to reach the end zone.
The 2nd round is where a lot of teams are going to find value at wide receiver. There are several players like Zay Jones, Chris Godwin, Taywan Taylor and Josh Malone who have tons of upside.
1. Mike Williams, Clemson
2. Corey Davis, Western Michigan
3. Taywan Taylor, Western Kentucky
4. Josh Reynolds, WR, Texas A&M
5. KD Cannon, Baylor
6. John Ross, Washington
7. Chris Godwin, Penn State
8. Zay Jones, East Carolina
9. JuJu Smith-Schuster, USC
10. Josh Malone, Tennessee
