2020 NFL Draft: Matching offensive linemen to teams in the first round
8. player. 829. . Offensive Tackle. Crimson Tide . Jedrick Wills
Speaking of teams that have to protect their franchise quarterback, the Arizona Cardinals desperately need some blocking to deal with facing Aaron Donald, Nick Bosa and Jadeveon Clowney six times per year.
Kyler Murray is agile, but still needs better protection. The Cardinals need at least one upgrade for offensive tackle, and it’ll be two if they can’t re-sign D.J. Humphries.
Alabama tackle Jedrick Wills had a great season, and could easily be chosen in the top 10.
Wills played right tackle for Alabama, but has the ability to play on the left side as well. He makes sense for Arizona, who can target him for either side of the line depending on what happens with Humphries.
Wills is strong with excellent run blocking. He has the ability to protect on the blindside too, giving Arizona (or any team that takes him) the best of both worlds.
The Cardinals make too much sense here with Wills.
