I'm still a big fan of what they have in Amagaji out of Yale.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Emory Hunt liked what the Bears did in the NFL Draft (Hour 4)

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.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

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€“

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

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.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Emory Hunt liked what the Bears did in the NFL Draft (Hour 4)

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.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Emory Hunt liked what the Bears did in the NFL Draft (Hour 4)

Like, nah, there's rounds of drafts.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Emory Hunt liked what the Bears did in the NFL Draft (Hour 4)

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.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

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.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

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.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

You only play 10 games, eight of which are in conference play because you're playing against the other eight Ivy League schools.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

So you may not get that pound-for-pound competition.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

tests that you would outside of the FCS at other conferences.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

And so the only time we got to really see him was when he got to an All-Star game or something like that.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Emory Hunt liked what the Bears did in the NFL Draft (Hour 4)

So therefore, he still has a little bit more runway in terms of his development.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Most guys that come from the FCS,

probably have played FBS opponents.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show
Emory Hunt liked what the Bears did in the NFL Draft (Hour 4)

You know, the Ivy League doesn't do that, so you don't really get a true one-to-one.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

His first glimpse of what that looks like is, to your point, on the road against Minnesota, against Brian Flores' defense.
