1. Cleveland Browns LT Jedrick Wills

Wills heads into his third season and there are still questions as to whether he can be the long-term answer at left tackle.

It may not be the most popular choice, but Pro Football Focus offers a way to evaluate lineman through their grading system. Wills finished 2021 with a mark of 61.5, which ranked 71st among qualified lineman. For a second-year top-10 pick, definitely not optimal.

Wills showed some promise as a rookie, but got injured early in 2021 (ankle). Perhaps it lingered and impacted his play. He missed four games because of it.

Wills will be forever compared to Bucs right tackle Tristan Wirfs, whom Cleveland passed on to take Wills with the 10th pick. Wills moved from right tackle to left tackle, while the Bucs flipped Wirfs from left to right.

Wills becomes extension eligible after this season. If the Brown are to act next offseason, Wills will have to give them a reason.
