Alabama OT Jedrick Wills

There are four top consensus offensive tackles in this draft class and it will be tough to go wrong picking any of them. Wills (6-foot-5, 320 pounds) might have the highest ceiling among the four, though. If the Panthers are planning to move on from right tackle Taylor Moton, Wills would be the best replacement they’re going to get in this class. He’s a true mauler in the run game and also has a connection with quarterbacks coach Jake Peetz.
