2017 NFL Mock Draft: NFL Conference Championship Edition

Marcus Mariota showed some serious development in his second season with the Tennessee Titans, but the young quarterback still desperately needs some more weapons to work with. The Titans also need some help at cornerback, but with two picks in the first round, my guess is that Tennessee uses the first one to find their future No. 1 receiver.

There are a few wide receivers in this draft class that could make the argument as the top guy at the position, but none of them consistently made jaw-dropping plays like Clemson’s Mike Williams did this year. Just look at this insane grab he made against Alabama in the National Championship.

That play is a great example of what Williams does best, and that’s attacking 50-50 jump balls at their high point. As a former basketball player, Williams is a phenomenal athlete who does a great job of attacking contested passes instead of letting the ball come to him.

With his unique blend of size (6-foot-3, 225 pounds) and speed, Williams should be able to make an immediate impact as a rookie. Having Mariota as his quarterback could make Williams an early Rookie of the Year candidate and help turn the Titans into an even more legitimate contender in the AFC South.
