Harmon's WR8 ranks higher than consensus; expects instant impact in slot role.
Matt Harmon ranks Antonio Williams as his wide receiver 8 in the draft class and would have taken him early in the second round; Williams was drafted 7th overall in the third round by Washington, going a round later than Harmon's tier-four ranking. Harmon projects Williams as a slot-mostly player (82% of snaps in slot, 86% off-ball) who can play Z in two-receiver sets, with 75th percentile success rate versus man coverage and strong contested-catch ability (80% catch rate on contested targets). Williams is 5'11", 187 lbs, tested at 80th percentile on 40-yard dash and vertical jump, and excels on corner routes, post routes, and dig routes against both man and zone coverage with reliable hands. Harmon expects Williams to operate as a vertical slot receiver similar to Christian Kirk, fitting well with Washington's new offensive scheme under David Blough and quarterback Jayden Daniels. At Clemson, Dabo Sweeney used him on trick plays, direct hand-offs, and downfield opportunities, demonstrating versatility despite the hyper-specific slot archetype. Harmon is higher on Williams than most consensus and expects instant impact with year-one production higher than expected.
