The expected first-round pick was passed up by multiple teams, six to be exact that took an offensive lineman talent. Not a great first night for Cleveland, but now teams should be chomping at the bits to get in on a talent like this. A guy who has the most similarities between Joe Thomas than anyone else with the run blocking that he provides.

The monstrous 6-foot-6, 310-pound offensive tackle has been flying up the board after having one of the best combine performances in recent memory. Cleveland shocked a lot of folks with his sub 5.0-second 40-yard dash and even more impressive strength that he showed. A truly gifted athlete and a blue-collar kid from Boise State.

Cleveland might still make it past the top three picks in the second round out of a sheer need for other positions from the teams. Make no mistake, whoever is able to steal Cleveland in the second round will get a pro bowl caliber lineman.
