I wouldn't rule Trent out. Ezra might be a guard.

I think the Skins are screwed. They wanted too much for him, and now the 2nd round is basically over.RandyMoss84 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:08 pm I am sad that Trent is out of the running but that is okay, I am happy with Cleveland! I am really curious to see if Redskins will trade Trent somehow

I saw him when watching Mattison clips after last years draft. I thought he looked amazing.YikesVikes wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:11 pm Cleveland is a poor pick. Loved everything they have done before but this guy is a development prospect. Two high for the 2nd. Would have gathered Jones and or Fulton.
He's a lot like O'Neill coming out and that worked out well, so I can't sell the pick too short.YikesVikes wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:11 pm Cleveland is a poor pick.

He's bigger than O'Neill and almost as athletic.VikingLord wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:12 pm Just glad they focused on the lines with this pick.
Cleveland is smooth mover who rose up draft boards late. Not sure what to make of that (usually not a fan of late risers because they are usually rising due to Combine results and scripted pro days), but he is a better prospect and more pro-ready than O'Neill was coming out and I see them as very similar players in terms of their ceiling. O'Neill worked out well and if the Vikings did their homework I expect Ezra will follow the same trajectory as a pro.
Agreed, they overplayed their hand, and now they are stuck.J. Kapp 11 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:11 pmI think the Skins are screwed.

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.VikingsVictorious wrote: ↑Fri Apr 24, 2020 8:12 pmI saw him when watching Mattison clips after last years draft.
