True, he stunk.

"Cleveland is one of the better guards in the league"

Jags worst PFF grades this year.  Every grade matches the eye test.

C Luke Fortner: 44.2
G Ezra Cleveland: 46.0
G Tyler Shatley: 47.5
TE Brenton Strange: 48.6
WR Parker Washington: 51.1 up

We traded for a guy with a foot injury, he gets the offseason to heal up and he'll be fine. Again, your armchair eval isn't worth the pixels it took to post.

And PFF has him at 59.5 for the year, so I guess your stats source is as bad as your talent evaluation.

You'll also notice that his Minnesota grades from before the trade put him at 73.8, among the leaders at guard in the League. Almost like he was hampered by that injury.

So maybe if you wanna throw out numbers you ought to look just a little bit beyond them so you can understand what's going on in pro football. Or you can keep thinking you know what's going on and believing your fake news.
