Offensive tackles
1. *Jedrick Wills Jr., Alabama (6-5, 322, 5.28)
While most have Wirfs or Thomas as OT1, Wills is the best tackle prospect I have evaluated in this class. He is explosive through his hips with the wide, lower body movements to mirror in pass protection and the upper body power to steamroll defenders in the run game. While he needs some fine-tuning, Wills has all the talent and upside to be a top-five pick in this draft.
Round 1 - Pick 17
Jedrick Wills Jr. OL
ALABAMA • JR • 6'5" / 320 LBS
The addition of Wills does not rule out the possibility of trading for veteran Trent Williams. Cleveland needs to upgrade both tackle positions, and Williams may not command a first round pick.
17. Cleveland Browns: Austin Jackson, OT, USC
The Browns re-signed Greg Robinson to a one-year deal to play left tackle and right tackle Chris Hubbard has graded out as PFF’s 77-best (of 79) offensive tackle this season. A two-year starter at USC, Jackson has elite movement skills for the position and gives the Browns a long-term solution at left tackle.
