The 6-foot-4, 312-pound Wills, who’s from Lexington, Ky., was a second-team All-American last season. He started 28 games the last two seasons.
ESPN’s Mel Kiper rated Wills the seventh-best player in the draft and the best offensive tackle.

"Wills is a mauler and natural finisher with the power to move defenders in the run game," wrote ESPN draft analyst Steve Muench. "He's an easy knee-bender with a powerful punch who rarely gives ground in pass protection. He oversets at times but he has enough balance and agility to stay in front of defenders when his footwork is sound. Wills grades out as a plug-and-play starter at right tackle, but he also could kick inside to guard."
