No. 112 | Ezra Cleveland | OT | Boise State
The Colts received some good news before the combine in that veteran left tackle Anthony Castonzo will be returning for at least another season. While this is great news for the entire offense, the Colts must begin looking at prospects to supplant him.
As much as Ballard likes building up the trenches and he could do so earlier in the draft, Cleveland might be someone to target at the beginning of Day 3. There are some big developments that need to take place—the biggest of which might be adding size and strength. Fortunately, Cleveland should have the time to do so working behind Castonzo and right tackle Braden Smith.
What intrigues most about Cleveland is his agility and athleticism, two traits that are a must in offensive line prospects. His 4.46 in the 20-yard shuttle tested in the 94th percentile while his 7.26 in the three-cone tested in the 98th percentile. That type of agility doesn’t come around often in the NFL.
Taking that athleticism and cleaning up his technique while adding some strength would pay off in a massive way for the Colts.
