The Pittsburgh Steelers have a private visit scheduled with one of the draft’s “Tier 2” offensive tackles. According to SB Nation’s Justin Melo, the team is taking a close look at Boise State’s Ezra Cleveland.
Melo tells me Cleveland is flying into Pittsburgh for his visit, meaning he should count as a “Top 30” on the Steelers’ list. The organization has a strong history of drafting multiple players from their pre-draft visit list.
In a “normal” year, there’s a good chance Cleveland would’ve gone in the first round. But with this year’s crop of tackles being one of the deepest ever, five or six likely to be chosen in the Top 32, it’s probable Cleveland slips into Round Two.
