Bleacher Report's Matt Miller ranked Cleveland as the 10th-best offensive tackle in this draft class with a 72 grade, spotting him in the bottom of the third round.

However, his name was buzzing as a potential first-rounder in the week leading up to the draft. Cleveland also gained national traction with a strong showing at February's combine:

Cleveland had started every game at Boise State since 2017, and he was named to the All-Mountain West first team the past two seasons.

Last season, according to Boise State's official website, the Washington native "provided protection at left tackle for a Bronco offense that ranked 19th in the country in scoring [and] helped open holes for Mountain West Freshman of the Year running back George Holani, who extended Boise State's streak of seasons with a 1,000-yard rusher to 12."

Minnesota will hope to get the same push and protection from Cleveland.
