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

He also ranked a playmaker score of only 70% which isn't necessarily bad, but not worth a high pick. Most good first round WRs get a playmaker score of over 70%. A WR the size of Williams should rank much higher from TD catches, but didn't catch TDs compared to that especially with a great QB at the helm. He also had a very average YPC average which should be higher for a WR that is supposed to high point deep passes much better.

Similarly, he compares athletically to Laquon Treadwell who has had a rough start in the NFL. He doesn't have the separation ability that other WR prospects have which is much mroe important than just being big. More WRs with his measurable and same supposed "wow" factor fail than succeed

So did a guy named Larry Fitzgerald....

Not too mention Boldin was never known as explosive with his speed.

Speed is not the end all be all. Look at the Raiders and all the times they drafted guys who had great 40 times. Give me the guy who runs nice crisps routes (Williams) has a big body that can take the hits in the NFL (Williams) and has played against the top level of competition and still managed to make a major impact.
