2020 NFL Draft: Grading every first-round pick after rookie year

Grading every rookie from the 2020 NFL Draft: 10. Jedrick Wills, OT, Cleveland Browns

Season stats:

• N/A

The Cleveland Browns were unsure on Quarterback Baker Mayfield. After a rough 2019, many around the league believed it was about that time to ditch the former number one overall pick.

So what does Jedrick Wills have to do with any of that? Everything.

Wills did a good job of protecting Mayfield all season long last year. His run blocking left much to be desired but as important as it is for him to open up the running lanes, his main job was to keep his signal-caller upright. With only four sacks allowed throughout the entire year, he did a great job of doing just that.

The praise thrown in the direction of Wills is warranted but he does have one major flaw that he needs to correct as soon as possible. That would be his penchant for drawing penalties.

While 11 may not seem like a lot, when you consider that he was tied for first in that category, this could be a major flaw for him going forward.

Shoving that aside though, the first-year player played terrifically. With reports surfacing that Mayfield could be on the cusp of a huge deal, he should shell out a few bucks to his new left tackle.
