Round 2 | Ezra Cleveland, Boise State
Production is something the Chargers look for in prospects and Cleveland possesses that having started 40 games in his final three seasons for the Broncos.
Cleveland boosted his draft stock from a third or fourth-round selection to a top-50 selection after destroying the NFL Scouting Combine, with an official 4.93-second 40-yard dash, a 30-inch vertical and a position-best 4.46-second short shuttle.
Even though he needs to get stronger and he doesn’t possess the longest arms, his athleticism and loose movement skills allow him to stymie different types of rushers off the edge in pass protection, and he has the mobility to get out into space to seal linebackers.
