Mocking a tackle to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers makes sense, and Alabama’s Jedrick Wills is the last of the big four tackles on the board. Protecting veteran quarterback Tom Brady is paramount for the Buccaneers since he’s about as nimble as a battleship.

Wills is a bit of a wild card in these mocks. He could be the first tackle off the board at No. 4 or he could be the fourth tackle off the board at No. 14 like here.

Where he lands will be interesting.

Wills is an excellent asset as a pass-blocking specialist who also can contribute in the run game. He can be a perennial Pro Bowl player in the NFL if he lives up to his ceiling.

His technique and football IQ is sound as usual from an Alabama player, and his body is ready for the physicality of NFL football from Week 1.
