Pick 10 is in, Jedrick Wills Jr, OT, BAMA

This is by no means a defense of Jed's play, which has not been good, but the second play in that clip @Kegeratorz looks to me like Joel failing to pass off the DE and move to the guy who stunts inside. (Then again, Jed does not maintain very good position to be able to execute that pass-off. But as a former OL I think that's what should be happening there).

I was thinking the same. D ran a stunt and typically there is a hand off. I can't tell for the DT was holding Joel.
 
Something you don't say publicly, at least not until year(s) later about it. Kayfabe still matters in pro sports. The "new sports media" of former player shows/podcasts hasn't gotten the public to the point of understanding or accepting the nuances of the full business of pro sports.
 
This is what I would say to those who want to knock the Wills pick. At the time, with the info available, it was a solid pick.
Sure looking back, the 4th OT taken in the draft was the best one.

 
At this point it's possible Wills has blown out his knee like Chubb. He just can't get back on the field, unlike Chubb.
Same with Hurst who has a shoulder but never plays a full season and likely never will as we get up 18 games.
It might become rarer for players to play every single game in a season and missing games is acceptable.
