The 2020 NFL Draft is thought to be incredibly deep in offensive line prospects, but that doesn't mean it lacks top-end talent. Arguably the top offensive tackle on the board is Alabama's Jedrick Wills Jr., who has experience playing on the right side, but has the physical makeup and athleticism to play left tackle in the NFL.

A strong offensive line is key to keeping quarterbacks healthy and winning games, which makes Wills a popular early draft pick. He combines power and foot speed as well as anyone available, and these are the three most likely teams to take Wills in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Dolphins need a bit of everything, but figuring out the offensive line will be one of this offseason's top priorities, especially if they wish to put a young quarterback behind center. With the line needing a complete overhaul, drafting Wills, a player that has the versatility to play on either side, is perfect for a team looking to rebuild quickly. The Dolphins have the No. 5 draft pick, as well as No. 18 and 26 in the first round.

2. New York Giants

Offensive tackle is a huge need for this Giants team. They drafted they quarterback last season and one of the most physically talented running backs the season prior, so now they need to keep both of them upright. Wills gives them a blocker that can excel in both the running and passing games. The Giants currently hold the No. 4 overall draft pick.

3. Cleveland Browns

Baker Mayfield spent much of the 2019 season running for his life, so it's no wonder why the Browns struggled to do much on offense. The line is the biggest area of need for this Cleveland team, and locking Wills into one of the tackle spots would be huge for taking this talented offense to the level where many are expecting them to play at. The Browns have the No. 10 overall draft pick, which could be the perfect area to select Wills, if he is not the first tackle off the board.
