Months of debate and speculation about what the Cleveland Browns were going to do at left tackle in the 2020 NFL Draft concluded with the team selecting Jedrick Wills. The No. 10 overall pick from Alabama wasn’t the most obvious choice, but according to longtime Browns scribe and insider Terry Pluto, Wills was the top choice for the new regime of GM Andrew Berry, head coach Kevin Stefanski and offensive line coach Bill Callahan all along.
From Pluto’s column at cleveland.com on Sunday,
Callahan had a very strong voice in this selection. The Browns rated Wills as the best pure tackle in the draft. He has always been a right tackle in high school and college. The Browns believe he has the mentality and physical gifts to play either side. Callahan is convinced Wills is ready to make the switch.
It’s important to have Callahan’s nod of approval, because he’s the man charged with getting Wills ready to roll at a new position right away.
