Jedrick Wills Draft Position Betting Odds

Roy Larking of SI.com:
"When Jedrick Wills gets selected, in the top half of the first round, he will be the sixth Alabama lineman to be picked on Day 1 over the last ten drafts. That's the most of any school as Notre Dame, Texas A&M, and Wisconsin are tied for second with four. In addition to being well trained in Nick Saban's pro-style system, Wills played two full seasons against tough SEC defensive talent. Playing right tackle, Wills was the blindside protector for QB Tua Tagovailoa.
"After appearing in 11 games as a freshman, Wills was a sophomore starter and closed his career with 28 straight starts. Wills showed well during the NFL combine with a 5.05 time in the 40-yard dash and 34.5 vertical jump. A projected Day 1 NFL starter, Wills is a rock-solid pass protector who also grades well as a run blocker. In a talent-rich draft pool, Wills is up against Tristan Wirfs (Iowa) and Mekhi Becton (Louisville) in the race to be selected first overall."
Paul Schwartz of the New York Post writes of him:
"It is a tough call between Wills, Wirfs and Andrew Thomas of Georgia. Thomas is probably the most-ready to step in at left tackle. Wirfs is the most athletic and might end up being a Pro Bowl guard. Wills gets the nod because of his readiness – he can start from Day 1 at right tackle – AND his potential to move to the left side down the road. Wills has a pass-set that coaches drool over and he can move like a tight end. His hands mean business – think Ereck Flowers, in reverse – and his footwork is balanced on pass protection. He can move and maul. What else do you want?"
