You have the give the Tennessee Titans some credit for making noise this season. The offense is starting to come together thanks to Marcus Mariota and DeMarco Murray, but their quarterback could use some more weapons in the passing game.

The competition for the No. 1 wide receiver in this draft class is tightening, but right now Clemson’s Mike Williams is holding onto that top spot and could be an ideal No. 1 receiver for Mariota.

Williams has terrific size at 6’3” and 225 pounds, but is also fast enough to be a serious deep threat. What helps Williams stand out from the rest of the pack is his insane ability to make catches on 50-50 balls, attacking the ball at its high point and reeling the ball in with his soft hands.

With that kind of threat on offense, the Titans could quickly start turning into the best team in the AFC South. That may not be saying much, but it’s definitely a start for a franchise that has struggled so much recently.
