And if he stays on this course of play he will be "living up to his contract" 
There are 30 interior linemen making more money than Ezra Cleveland in 2024.

How am I wrong about Cleveland lol? I think he can be better than the 32nd ranked guard but if thats what he ends up I was absolutely right.  Thats not what I want for this oline.  You think Walker was the right pick and I didnt like the Cleveland extension because I thought we could do better there.  We shall see how it turns out.  Cleveland has looked Ok so far.   I dont want ok for Trevor.  As far far as what Cleveland is making, you have to look at his guaranteed money and average salary not just what he is making this year but you might want to go check the posts on when we signed him because actually  liked the contract.

I'll repeat myself since you are asking questions I already answered.
You were wrong on Cleveland because:

You said he would not return to form, and it looks like he has. (hopefully he can keep improving - it's early yet)
You said we "did nothing at left guard" when we added an upgrade over our 2022 and 2023 starters. 
Then you said you wanted him to play up to his contract and he already is. 

And I've already looked at those numbers on the contract. Those details make Cleveland even more of a bargain.
