Mock draft points to possible DeAndre Hopkins replacement for the Ravens

This has to be the year.

Lamar Jackson did that interview in the cold tub with Kevin Hart.

They talked about a lot, but that's the most important takeaway.

This is the year.

The Baltimore Ravens have squandered a couple of opportunities, especially here recently.

We are in luck.

This team boasts a strong defense and an offense featuring star players.

They have the potential to be formidable on both sides of the ball.

However, winning just once is not their only goal; the Ravens are aiming to secure two or three Lombardi Trophies.They are counting on youthful talent and newly acquired veterans for the upcoming campaign.

One such player is wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, although he is signed for only one season.

However, Pro Football Network believes they have found his potential replacement.PFN mocks Antonio Williams to the Ravens in an early 2026 mock draftWelp! It appears PFN believes the Ravens are coming short again.

Their recent 2026 NFL mock draft has Baltimore picking 28th.

In other words, they would have had to lose in the AFC's Divisional Round to land in that position.

Regardless, it is what it is.

Another intriguing detail in their recent commentary is the mock draft selection of a wide receiver from the Clemson Tigers, similar to DeAndre Hopkins, who also started his career there.Antonio Williams is the standout player.

He stands at five feet eleven inches tall and weighs 195 pounds.

In 2024, he earned First-Team All-ACC honors.

It's an interesting question regarding his position; the team already has Zay Flowers playing in the slot and Rashod Bateman on the outside.

Williams seems to be another slot receiver, but could he potentially play outside? Devontez Walker and Tylan Wallace are also part of the conversation, but will they still be with the team next season?Let's see what PFN has to say about their selection and some of the madness before we give a listen to a recent breakdown of the Clemson wide receivers.

"When you have a roster as loaded as the Baltimore Ravens, you can have the luxury of adding depth to your already strong receiver room.

Antonio Williams is a dynamic playmaker whose play style would fit nicely in Baltimores receiving unit."In three solid seasons at Clemson, Williams has been primarily available.

His 2023 campaign was limited to only five games because of injury, but last season was his best.

He notched 75 receptions, 904 yards receiving, and 11 touchdowns in 14 games.

Keep an eye on him as we inch towards another college football season.
