The consensus #1 OT in the draft, chosen in the top 10, is available with NO draft capital required...

STRENGTHS

—Has sweet feet at the right tackle position that showed up in his kick-slide, with quickness off the line of scrimmage and an ability to dominate at the second level.

—Smooth pass-protector who was asked to keep the blind side of left-handed quarterback clean.

—First movement is super explosive; easy movements with loose hips and a powerful base.

—Smart, savvy blocker who has a feel for where defenders are; will peel back off his block and look for someone to hit in the run game.

—Good agility to get outside on screen plays and can be a lead blocker.

—Plays with a mean streak and is a true finisher in the run game.

—So fast out of his stance that speed rushers can't beat him off the ball.

—Natural athlete who will excel in a zone or power-blocking scheme.

—Easy movement, agility and burst make us think he'll have no trouble playing left tackle.

WEAKNESSES

—Very patient but waits too long to shoot his arms and punch; stays in his slide too long.

—Plays a little high in the run game.

—Two-year starter who is still a little raw in his punch technique and timing.

OVERALL

Wills is the clear-cut OT1 in the 2020 draft class thanks to his toughness, agility and awareness coming out of Alabama. He has the tools to be an All-Pro-caliber performer at either tackle spot and could even be a world-class guard if needed on the inside. He's one of the cleanest offensive lineman prospects in some time and has room to continue improving once in the NFL.

GRADE: 94

PRO COMPARISON: Jason Peters/Dion Dawkins

We could look at this like, see you could trade into the top 10 and take the best OT in the draft and still not get your LTOTF.

We could also look at this like, how could a player widely considered the best OT to come out in awhile fall this far?

This is our chance to get THE Best LT in that draft, a guy we would never be able to trade up for, with very LITTLE risk.

I think Wills has to be in the equation. There is huge potential for a home run with this guy.

Unless we are able to sign Stanley or Jackson (Unlikely), then I think we have to take a chance with Wills.

If Humphries is brought back or even if they sign Robinson, get Wills in here to compete with them and Kingsley.

Cleveland has a history of letting good even great O lineman out of the building.
