After grabbing a versatile defensive playmaker in Peppers with their first pick, the Titans can afford to look at their options with their second first-round pick courtesy of the Los Angeles Rams.

Sure, the Titans could add another defensive prospect, but why not try to find a new weapon for Marcus Mariota? Tennessee doesn’t exactly have a No. 1 receiver right now, with Tajae Sharp and Kendall Wright being two of Mariota’s top receivers.

Clemson’s Mike Williams looks like someone who could come in and be a starting receiver on Day 1. Not only is he a natural receiver with soft hands and speed, but he’s also got the size at 6’3” and 225 pounds to be a dangerous target in the red zone.

This may not be a stacked class of receivers, but Williams looks like the clear No. 1 receiver prospect and a future playmaker at the next level. With Mariota throwing his way, Williams could have some huge upside in Tennessee.
