Peter King has Jedrick Wills Jr. to Browns in mock

Peter King’s mock draft has the Cleveland Browns drafting a player that makes a lot of sense, Alabama’s Jedrick Wills Jr.

Jedrick Wills Jr. could be someone who makes a difference right from the start. That must be part of the reason why Peter King has the Cleveland Browns taking him 10th overall in his mock draft.

King went on to say that “Andrew Thomas is the preferred player here” and makes sure to mention the possibility of a trade down. A scenario that Chad Reuter went too far with in his latest mock. King made sure to mention that the Browns “crave picks” and the possibility of trading down in the draft is very much in play. Outside of a complete disaster scenario, Cleveland should stay put and make the pick at 10 and not trade down.

Peter King said something interesting in the second half of explanation of the pick.

Wills is a more natural right tackle as opposed to Thomas being a two-year left tackle at Georgia. There are some teams that have Wills the top-rated tackle in a good class of them, so if Cleveland gets him, it’s a good pick. He allowed one sack over the past two seasons at Alabama.

The old left tackle vs. right tackle debate. Andrew Berry seemed to put this to rest just a little while ago. Any sort of hesitation due to position appears to be a non-issue.

If the Browns take Jedrick Wills Jr. it would be a great move. They need a tackle and Wills should be able to start right away. This is exactly what they need right now. Solidify the line and then proceed to evaluate Baker Mayfield in what is a make or break season.
