Why it looks to me like Mike Williams may just be the Bengals choice.

Evan on the other hand is one of the best "back to the rim" throw it straight up and I'll go up and get it guys in the league, I am not sure that specifically is what Williams does. Williams is a good contested ball catchers, but turning around and waiting for the ball and high pointing it isn't really something he did much in college.

I use Dez Bryant as the comparison because of the route combinations he still runs in the NFL. Bryant is basically a 3 route WR and it is what I think Williams will be for the most part, which isn't  bad thing because Beckham is the same way just different routes.

True, Williams is more of an over-the-shoulder catcher whereas Evans is more of a comeback high-pointer, but I guess where I was coming from was that both had high pointing the ball, being big and physical, and having strong hands to pluck the ball away from their body listed as strengths and having just NFL average speed (mid 4.5s) as a weakness.

I would say a "horrible" comparison would be like comparing Williams to someone who wins with speed and/or crisp route running. Just because someone isn't exactly like another player doesn't make it a horrible comparison. "Horrible" and "not-the-best" are two different things, which is more what I was getting at.
