This year is the year to need an offensive tackle, and the Browns have been linked to one of the most intriguing prospects in the class. Bleacher Reports Brent Sobleski has listed the Cleveland Browns as a fit for Yale offensive tackle Kiran Amegadjie.
“When healthy, Amegadjie is a 6’5″, 323-pound prospect, with 36⅛-inch arms. He has the length and movement skills to stay at offensive tackle but may get a look at guard depending on where he lands. Either way, the first-team FCS All-American can still be a Day 2 selection, even though he may not go quite as high as initially projected.”
Amegadjie is one of my favorite prospects in this class, with all the physical tools needed to perform in the NFL. He has a fantastic strength profile and is a real mover in the run game, paving the way for his running backs behind him.
With long arms, Amegadjie does a great job of keeping defensive linemen from being able to get into his chest and control him. The raw power he plays with is impressive and will translate to the next level.
His placement and footwork could use some help, but he is a great athlete at his size and has the physical traits you can’t teach. As a pass protector for the past three seasons, he has allowed only one sack, dominating lesser competition. On top of that, he can play inside and outside, having started a season at left guard before starting two years at left tackle.
