OT. Alabama. Jedrick Wills Jr.. 1. player. 53. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

Offensive tackles have also been a position that the Crimson Tide have experienced much success. Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals drafted Jonah Williams with the 11th overall pick.

Now the Tide will likely have another offensive tackle selected high in the draft with Jedrick Wills projected to be one of the top tackles selected. He is one of the best and most well-balanced tackles in the draft in run support and pass protection.

His run blocking has been consistent since his first start with the Crimson Tide. His pass protection has been getting better through time. He only allowed one sack in the last 929 passing attempts.

Teams like the Arizona Cardinals and the Miami Dolphins will be teams that need serious help at pass protection as well as run support. It will be the Cleveland Browns that can use his ability to keep the pocket clean for quarterback Baker Mayfield and provide great running lanes for running back Nick Chubb.

Projection: First round, No. 10 overall (Browns)
