WR. Clemson. Mike Williams. 7. player. 13.

The San Diego Chargers will finish the 2016 season in the cellar in the AFC West, after being decimated by injuries and inconsistent play. However, there has been plenty of bright spots for the Chargers, who seem to have some incredible young talent on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Philip Rivers is still one of the better signal-callers in the AFC, and he put up some solid numbers despite losing his WR1 to injury in Week 1 of the NFL season.

Next April, the team should look to supplement Keenan Allen at wide receiver, as Allen will be coming off the torn ACL he suffered against the Kansas City Chiefs. He has been injury-plagued throughout his career, so bringing in some depth at the position is a smart play for the Chargers organization. San Diego also may be moving to Los Angeles, so bringing in a flashy wide receiver to team with the weapons they already have on offense should give them the talent they need to compete in 2017.

San Diego is not too far away from being a contender in the AFC West, and they actually played incredibly well against all their opponents this season. Williams is one of the better wide receiver prospects we have seen in years, and he will be fighting for a national title in the coming weeks. He would be a perfect fit in a San Diego offense that loves the big play.
