The Cleveland Browns are arguably facing a do-or-die season in 2020 after failing to come anywhere close to expectations a year ago.

Few are going to be under as much pressure as quarterback Baker Mayfield, so one figures the Browns’ top priority should be putting him into the best possible position to succeed. And again, starting with the up-front guys would be a smart route to take in this NFL Draft.

While there are some needs, particularly on the long term on the defensive side of the ball, getting another offensive tackle to pair with recently added tackle Jack Conklin would be smart.

There has been a run on offensive tackles in this NFL Draft mock already, but Alabama’s Jedrick Wills is a very nice consolation prize at No. 10 overall.

Wills is solid in pass protection, which should help give Mayfield plenty of extra time from his front side this season and in years to come.
