ORIGINAL: kgdabom EZRA CLEVELAND T, MINNESOTA VIKINGS Vikings selected Boise State OT Ezra Cleveland with the No. 58 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Cleveland was a late riser who was talked about as a potential first-rounder. Cleveland (6’6/311) earned the job as Boise State's starting left tackle as a redshirt freshman, garnering back-to-back first-team All-Mountain West Conference honors in his final two seasons at the collegiate level. A true snap hog who soaked up 95.6 percent of the team's offensive snaps as a three-year starter, Cleveland's tall stance still leaves him susceptible to being overpowered while simultaneously limiting his ability in any power-running scheme. He still turned heads at Indy's combine in leading all tackles in the Wonderlic (30), bench press (30), short shuttle (4.46), 3-cone (7.26), and 40-yard dash (4.93). His mobility and SPARQ athleticism (91st-percentile) should help him land as a work-in-progress starter at left tackle immediately. Cleveland's arrival in Minnesota could mean the end of the Trent Williams-Vikings rumors. Cleveland is a perfect fit for OC Gary Kubiak's offense. Apr 24, 2020, 9:06 PM ET Sounds good. I'd still like a G in the next round or 2.
