10. player. 16. A depleted receiving core limited Tyrod Taylor and the Buffalo Bills to just the 30th ranked passing attack in the NFL last season. Although that was paired with the No. 1 rushing attack, it wasn’t enough to end the dreadful 17-year playoff drought that’s currently eating at fans everywhere. <p>Mike Williams is the receiver in this draft class that will likely produce the most from day one. He will need to work on his route-running, headwork and footwork to help create space between him and the defender because Tyrod Taylor has struggled finding receivers in the past.</p> <p>The good news is, Williams is the type of receiver that will catch anything thrown at him. Whether it’s high, low, behind, it doesn’t matter. His hands, coordination and ability to track the ball are incredible and should give Taylor a bit of confidence when dropping back.</p> <p>You also can’t ignore the fact that Mike Williams would be lining up across from Sammy Watkins. Opposing teams would be watching both players closely, but won’t be able to double-team both of them. It makes for a hard decision on the defense, but an easy one for the offense — get Williams or Watkins the ball.</p> <p>Mike Williams will be the boost this passing offense has needed and could be the tool Tyrod Taylor needs to become an elite quarterback. When you have two ‘No. 1’ receivers on your squad… that’s Playoff Caliber.</p> <p>Plus, the Bills need to make Stephon Gilmore look foolish next season and what better way than send a rookie to do it. </p>. WR. Clemson. Mike Williams
