WR. Clemson. Mike Williams. 14. player. 48.

Jameis Winston looks like the franchise quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so they need to keep surrounding him with weapons. While Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans are an intimidating duo, Jackson is set to be a free agent after this season and there’s no guarantee that he returns in 2017.

To prepare for Jackson’s potential departure, the Buccaneers should go ahead and take the top receiver in the upcoming draft class with Clemson’s Mike Williams. He’s a similar type of player compared to Jackson at 6’4” and 210 pounds with an ability to create space with some crisp route running.

There’s a lot of serious potential with Williams, and with Winston throwing him the ball, no one would be surprised to see him put up 1,000-plus yards in his first NFL season.
