A.J. Green is still one of the most talented wide receivers in the league, but the Cincinnati Bengals don’t have the receivers around him that they used to. With Mohamed Sanu and Marvin Jones gone, the Bengals should seriously consider adding another receiver to give Andy Dalton another weapon to throw to.

Clemson’s Mike Williams is the top receiver in this draft class, but could slide in the first round due to the plethora of talent at other positions. Still, Williams is a great receiver with that rare combination of size at 6’3” and 225 and speed that can make him a dangerous threat at the next level.

Green and Williams could be a dangerous pair of receivers, especially if the former is willing to give the Clemson prospect some pointers. The Bengals are still trying to become a Super Bowl contender out of the AFC, and having two potentially elite receivers could help them take that next step.
