Cleveland is a great athlete. #Vikings did a lot of due-dilgence on/with him pre-draft. Word is RB Mattison, former teammate at Boise, is a big fan. #Vikings

Is there any chance Vikings will trade up?

How long are his arms? Skins will end up cutting Trent and then we will sign him

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.

@JReidNFL
The #Vikings getting Justin Jefferson and Jeff Gladney on Day 1 and then finding their heir apparent to Riley Reiff by selecting Ezra Cleveland at 58 and still gaining an extra 4th + 5th round pick is an A+ start to the draft for MIN.

This is a Kubiak choice 100%, and his track record with OL is as good as anyone's over a very long time. If Kubiak thinks he can develop a guy there is a pretty good chance he can (and will). Got to trust on this one.YikesVikes wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:15 pm Issue with moving guys in college. I like reach blockers but I like movement on our line as well. Too often last year, we simply could not move guys out of a hole. Cleveland is more of the same.
Plenty of pure power interior OL left yet.
