OK, 49ers fans. You really thought Clemson wideout Mike Williams was going to slip to you with the Niners’ second first-round pick in the NFL Draft?

Close. But not quite.

Williams falls due to injury concerns about his neck. Sure, he’s the best receiver in this year’s NFL Draft. But how durable will he be at the next level?

The Washington Redskins are poised to take a gamble. In all likelihood, they’ll franchise quarterback Kirk Cousins if they don’t open up the checkbook. But veteran wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon are both hitting the free-agent market as well.

Washington only has so much money, so Williams could easily be a key replacement at a lower cost.
