Jacksonville Jaguars. Jedrick Wills Jr.. 9. player. 52. . Offensive Tackle

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot of work to do this offseason, as they transition away from the services of Tom Coughlin in the front office. This is a team that needs help on both sides of the ball, and has some very tough decisions to make in  terms of who they want to bring back in free agency.

Another area where they have to make a huge decision is at the quarterback position, as they try to figure out whether it will be Nick Foles or Gardner Minshew under center for the team moving forward. Both men have a specific skill-set that can win games at the NFL level, but no matter who is the quarterback in 2020, they need help along the offensive line.

One of the bigger name offensive tackles in this draft class is Jedrick Wills Jr., who has been mocked as high as No. 4 overall this April. If he falls to No. 9 to the Jaguars, he would be the blindside protector for this franchise for years to come, something they are in desperate need of.

Offensive Tackle. Cleveland Browns. Tristan Wirfs. 10. player. 53.

The Cleveland Browns were one of the teams many expected to make a serious run this past season, as second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield was coming off a standout rookie season. However, Mayfield seriously digressed in Year No. 2, and while he will be back as the franchise quarterback in 2020, they need better play out of him immediately.

One issue with this Browns roster has been the offensive line, as they have not been able to replace future Hall of Fame left tackle Joe Thomas. With the No. 10 overall pick in April, they will look to bring in a new franchise tackle, and Tristan Wirfs from Iowa has all the talent to be just that at the NFL level.

Mayfield is a  talented quarterback, and he has tremendous weapons on the outside, so it would make sense for the franchise to do whatever they can to bolster the offensive line. The Browns will have their latest new head coach in 2020, as they have fired Freddie Kitchens and hired Kevin Stefanski, and the hope is that he can  turn this thing around.
