Grade the Amegadjie pick

[ndgt10]

Personally, I'm going with a C. Lots of good EDGE rushers were passed over for no apparent reason.

 

[petrairm]

I went A due to the OL depth issues.

Christian Haynes was still available at the time.

Shocker….. but Poles liked the Yale kid more!

I just posted in the draft thread that apparently the pick would have been Trice but he went right in front of them. They went with the highest player on their board.

Poles was pretty transparent in that interview. One of the reasons I root for the guy. He doesn’t act like everything is a state secret.

I’ll go with a B. This is a Poles/Cunningham special. He has all the traits to be a NFL LT.

Plus, he’s a local kid that loves the Bears. Lots of experts were praising the pick last night.

I was watching NFL Network but my buddy was following it on ABC and one of their analysts called the pick the potential steal of the draft.

That’s not possible because Odunze is the highway robbery of the draft.

Feels like drafting my little brother. He's one of us. Gonna give everything he has to make a difference in this team, and for that alone I like that he is wearing our colors. That he provides depth on OL as he develops is key. I like it.

 

[Bearly]

I get why they wanted Trice as he's a need and high motor guy but Amegadjie has a higher ceiling.

Kiran is the classic boom or bust pick. We won’t really know for a couple years. I’m all about adding OL to the pipeline though!

A, just cause i can say AhMeGaad with the pancake

Oh my God, that made me giggle. Hope he gets a lot of that.

 

[I Just Want To Read]

I hope we don't regret Ellis going one pick after.

But I'm good with investing in a tackle to protect Caleb.

B

 

[Rise]

A for me just because his Twitter account is full of tweets complaining about past Bears games. He is a true fan and loves the team, he will be ready for Green Bay. Worst case he is from Yale and can be a hell of a coach.

I believe he’s being moved to guard.

Amegadjie's comp is Braxton, athletic, tall with a big wingspan. That type, if it comes from a good FBS program, is going in the 1st round. Poles looks for this type later on so he can get a steal while living with the need for growth.

Solid A in my book.

Would have been very interesting how high he goes if he stays healthy and can play in the Senior Bowl

 

[Hawkeye OG]

At first thought I’d go C. Seems high potential to bust but I suppose that’s the case for many 3rd rounders. Maybe he ends up being a nice depth piece. I’ll upgrade to B simply because investing in OL is never a bad idea.

Sucks Beebe went just 2 picks ahead of bears pick. That would have been my preference
