12. Philadelphia Eagles (via CLE)

WR. Clemson. Mike Williams . 12. player. 54. Howie Roseman isn’t a fool, and he’s not the passive sort. The Philadelphia Eagles GM knows the score with his team. They’ve got their franchise quarterback. Now they have to do whatever it takes to arm him with weapons. That means a running game and better wide receivers. Suffice to say Chip Kelly didn’t leave much behind to get excited about. They need “that” guy. The go-to target every young quarterback almost always has when they’re successful. <p>So they swing a minor trade up a couple spot to swipe the best one in the class. Mike Williams showcased his abilities on the national stage with his performance against Alabama. His size, strong hands, and consistent ability to win the battle against tough coverage were on full display. Every time Clemson needed him to make a play, he did. In the hands of a more creative offensive mind he’ll be even more dangerous.</p>
