Mike Williams opinions

I know we have Clemson fans around here so I was curious to what their opinions were of Mike Williams. 

He seem to be considered one of the top, if not the top, receivers in this draft class.  Also is seems very possible for him to available in the range we might be picking.

I've watched some highlight videos of him, but lets be honest, everyone looks good in a highlight video.  What I did see though was a guy with very good body control, good size, and good hands. I didn't really notice elite speed.

I don't think receiver is our biggest need but the right one could help our offense immensely.  Namely a true all around #1.  The type of guy that can make the tough catches in traffic but also has the speed to go deep.  The guy that runs good routes and has great hands.  The other type we need is the smaller dynamic speed receiver, the DeSean Jackson type or even Tyler Locket.

Does Williams have the potential to be that "#1"  type receiver?  (I really hate the #1 and #2 type of labels)

Not a Clemson fan, but being a UNC fan I watch a lot of ACC football. I like Wiliams, but he's not what we need. He's another big bodied WR with marginal NFL speed.

For the record, I was begging and pleading for us to draft DeAndre Hopkins ins 2013 until Star fell in our laps. I thought he was the best WR in that class.

You really think we're going to draft another big possession receiver when we already have Benji and Funchess? If anything we need a younger Ted Ginn with hands. There are probably receivers like that but the Panthers won't even consider them unless they are around the later rounds.

Williams is a lot more elusive and athletic than KB and Fungess. Drawing Bey Bey Thomas comparison.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
