So you don't think a 3rd round pick from Yale who missed all of training camp and preseason and has only played in two games this year where he's been thrown to the wolves both times wouldn't take time to get better at what he does? You think what you see now is what he'll always be and he has no chance at getting better?
Im not the person you responded to, and I generally think its foolish to assume Kiran wont get better. But focusing specifically on this upcoming offseason, the Bears have to go through the draft and most of FA before they get a chance to see him in camp so what he puts on film now is basically the only thing they can safely assume he will be next season in terms of making decisions on what to do at tackle.
He was drafted to replace Braxton. That was the entire point of the pick. Only in ccs la la land would they think to have him play guard.
I hope he does. It would be hard for him to get much worse. My problem is that he was picked in the 3rd round. I understand he was always a developmental player based on traits, and that’s fine. That’s what 6th and 7th round picks are for. Call me old-fashioned, but I expect a starter, or at worst a high-level backup, with a 3rd round pick.
This has been known for many many years but somehow it gets forgotten on CCS when everyone is on here telling us all who can and can't play where and where the OL that will be drafted in April can and can't play on the OL in the NFL.
Agree with most but i'm absolutely not assuming we will get the Kiren i saw two weeks ago next season after he gets an offseason, training camp and preseason to work on his game. I'm assuming we will get a better Kiren for the 2025 season.
He was thrown in for his first ever start at LT against a team that is probably top 3 in the NFL at blitzing. You haven't seen that plenty of times and probably not at all.
But he saw Flus on the golf course and told Flus he was going to draft him. Poles had to do it for that reason alone.
Sure as I mentioned you expect him to be better, but are you going to pencil him in as your swing tackle because of projected growth you expect him to go through? The answer of course is NO. Thats really what im referring to, you have to build the team assuming he wont be meaningfully better and its a very pleasant surprise if he somehow sees playtime and looks good. If the Bears go into '25 with Amegadjie as OT3 that's a massive gamble and a team building failure in my opinion.
His feet are so incredibly slow. I felt that way watching his Yale highlights too which surprised me reading scouting reports saying he moves well. Dude looks like a well below average athlete. Again, hopefully that's related to his injury and lack of rehab time
They'll make those decisions after training camp and preseason games. He'll be going against other tackles they bring in and see who wins that OT3 job.
Draft and 90%+ of Free Agency happens before training camp and preseason - Bears have to bring in someone that's capable of being OT3 (IE not a vet min journeyman or day 3 pick). Attention to detail.
Dan Skipper buddy!
Neither do you fat ass.
