My PFF site did not even have AJ Dillon even ranked/rated in there 250 players

Also I have not seen RB as a need for the Packers on any site

Erin has to be livid.  The top WR's are going bye-bye and the Puke have drafted his replacement and a backup to Aaron Jones.  Awesome.

You can see why they really liked Cleveland...he is so smooth in his movements..the comps to O'Neill make sense...30 reps but he need more strength?

I thought the same..30 is pretty darn good with those long arms.

I didn't do much pre-draft research. But now that I've read some reports on Cleveland, I get it.

Yup.  The CBS reviewer said he needs to get stronger.  But said he fits the zone blocking scheme to a T.  Excellent pick.

The Minnesota Vikings have selected Boise State offensive tackle Ezra Cleveland with the 58th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Cleveland is the Vikings' third pick in the top 60, joining LSU receiver Justin Jefferson and TCU corner Jeff Gladney, the team's pair of first round picks from Thursday night.
GM Rick Spielman indicated that the Vikings were looking to be aggressive on Day 2, so it may have surprised some that they didn't move up in the second round. But with the board falling the way it did, Spielman was content to stay put and wind up with a borderline first-round talent in Cleveland.
This is a pick that will make Gary Kubiak and Rick Dennison happy. Cleveland is a ridiculously athletic developmental tackle prospect who is a perfect fit for the Vikings' zone-blocking scheme. He needs plenty of coaching on his technique, but his ceiling is very high. With Cleveland and Brian O'Neill, the Vikings have one of the most athletic, mobile duo of young tackles in the NFL.
This is where Cleveland's combine numbers rank among offensive linemen, historically:

Edit: removed large image
The Vikings don't pick again until 89th overall, so it would not be surprising at all to see them move up before then.
This pick likely indicates that the Vikings won't trade for Trent Williams, though anything could still happen.

Yup.  Thought Jones was the best back in the NFL (according to those who drink paint thinner).
