After having a strong draft class in April, the Cleveland Browns have inked its first-round selection to a contract.
Jedrick Wills, former Alabama offensive tackle, signed a four-year deal worth $19.7 million on Tuesday and it’s fully guaranteed.

The 6-foot-4, 312-pounder was regarded as the best tackle in the class and after protecting the likes of Jalen Hurts, Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones, he now must keep Baker Mayfield upright as the Browns intend on making noise this season.
