WR. Clemson. Mike Williams. 14. player. 13.

San Diego picked up another big win this past weekend, and had it not been for some late game follies early in the season, they would actually be holding serve in the AFC West this season. However, losses are losses, and as it currently stands, they would be on the outside looking in come January. Quarterback Philip Rivers is having a fantastic season despite losing a ton of weapons on offense due to injury, though questions will loom heading into next season.

Star wide receiver Keenan Allen tore his ACL in Week 1 of the NFL season, blowing out his knee in a non-contact injury. Allen has been bitten by the injury bug throughout his career, and some fear he may not come back as the No. 1receiver he was. That would clear room for the team to draft a wideout in April, and that player should be Mike Williams.

To watch Williams play is to see a player who could be a star at the NFL level right now. He makes incredible catches look easy, and has the kind of hands that make scouts drool. He is definitely the best wide receiver in this draft class, and if the Chargers do take a swing at a wideout, they could move Allen over to WR2, while sending breakout player Tyrell Williams to WR3. It would be a pretty dangerous setup in San Diego.
