Mike Williams opinions

[AU-panther]

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.

his name is mike williams... for some reason i don't think he'll pan out...

I feel like there is always a WR named Mike Williams playing somewhere.

Aside from his obvious talents on the field, injuries are a big concern with this guy. The medical guys will really be looking at his neck.

If we are going wide out then we need a guy that can fly. Cam loves the deep ball and we need a guy who can stretch the field.

[Borat]

I think he'll run a 4.6, drop to the end of the first round, and be a perpetual pro-bowler anyways. Great body control, hands, and a knack for getting open.

John Ross is the WR we need if we go that route

I'd prefer a speed merchant if we went the wide receiver route.

[Lemory]

This is who i want in the later rounds. He might go high as the 1st depending on how good a combine he has.

Could be a possibility at no8.

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.
