I'm still a big fan of what they have in Amagaji out of Yale.
I feel like he's someone that got a raw deal because he was out there not fully healthy his rookie year, and he kind of got lambasted by the fans.
But I think that's someone that still has a future in Chicago.
And so you still have those growth opportunities there in-house.
So I'm always a big fan of โ
And that's why when I do some of these mock drafts or when I speak to people about their specific team and they say, why we didn't draft this guy, like a lot of times the answer is already on the roster.
You know, the fans, which is why we bring up that list of things that I think were a mistake, that mock draft was up there because a lot of times fans just view the first round as the whole roster.
Like, nah, there's rounds of drafts.
Guys that go undrafted, teams have a plan for these guys, and therefore you're able to see the development of players and also, okay, if this guy leaves, we've got this guy ready to go.
Well, when you watch him at Yale, you know, going back to his college tape, this is someone that definitely dominated his level of competition.
Now, it's not like, you know, the Ivy League is unique in terms of, you know, the type of prospects you're going to go up against.
You only play 10 games, eight of which are in conference play because you're playing against the other eight Ivy League schools.
So you may not get that pound-for-pound competition.
tests that you would outside of the FCS at other conferences.
And so the only time we got to really see him was when he got to an All-Star game or something like that.
So therefore, he still has a little bit more runway in terms of his development.
Most guys that come from the FCS,
probably have played FBS opponents.
You know, the Ivy League doesn't do that, so you don't really get a true one-to-one.
His first glimpse of what that looks like is, to your point, on the road against Minnesota, against Brian Flores' defense.
