2024 Draft Class: OL

In the second tier of tackles, great length and movement skills. Not saying he's anywhere on that level but the little I've been able to find of his game footage has mostly been silly, it reminds me a lot of Larry Allen way back in the day playing at Sonoma State. Amegadjie was just steamrolling people and tossing those future lawyers and investment bankers out of the club. He was mostly playing off of physical ability, badly in need of coaching but has all the tools to be a successful NFL lineman, either at guard or tackle.

Note on someone who *didn't* work out at the combine:

Yale OT Kiran Amegadjie had 36 1/8" arms (T10th at combine since '99) and a 85 4/8" wingspan, the latter was 7th-longest since '99 and amazingly T4th-longest in this OT class

You want the best FCS prospects to look dominant against their competition. When he was on the field this year, Yale OT Kiran Amegadjie was.

Superlative explosive talent with suffocating length, a tenacious finisher, and a budding technician. He's a Top 100 prospect on my board. pic.twitter.com/yP9wcA83sA

A lot of Kiran Amegadjie's (#72) reps look like this: Just dominating his individual assignment and caving in his side of the defensive front.

Look how much space he's able to generate inside the B-gap by ruthlessly torquing through his man. pic.twitter.com/lkYdPgxIxR

Wondering if JC Latham isn't quietly the 49ers target. They've met with him a couple of times, he has the kind of athleticism that Shanahan covets and projects out to be a long term starter at LT so they could play him immediately at RT and have a future replacement for Trent in-house. Of course he'd require a significant trade up, an investment that you only can make if you believe that he has the upside to be an upper tier LT.

I am a big fan of Latham, Kiran, and I think Patrick Paul also gives you a lot to work with if we went OT in round 2. Insane length and good athleticism for his astonishing size.

Not a fan of Paul at 31.
Hey, I won't be mad of doing our 31, 4th, 1st next year to trade up for one of the top OT. San Diego will probably shut up and have tears of joy if we somehow go this way.
1st- Latham OT
2nd- Haynes OG
3rd- Secondary
4th- Christian Jones OT
4th-DL
5th- LB
6th and 7th- best available players for depth and development type

Tried to make a quick mock with similar concepts. Not quite sure the second OT is needed, or at least that high. Not likely to see much of the field as a 4th string tackle. And maybe could develop a later round guy. But regardless, makes for a fun analysis.

I like the trade up for Fautanu boy got some feet and think Suamataia can slip to 62 bc he so raw but talented enough to convert to RG. To play LT usually means your the best lineman on the squad as he did but boy can move too even though he plays a little high sometimes but thats why we have coaches to fix those issues.

The way Alabama's JC Latham (#65) can just control pass rushers when he gets his hands on them is scary. He's so damn strong, just look at that anchor.

Makes me literally LOL when watching pass rushers get punched and locked up by Alabama OT JC Latham when pass rushing or when defending the run. They simply give up. He's that powerful. I'd want him locking down my right side of the OL for the next 12 yrs. #RollTide

#Alabama's right side of the line, led by JC Latham, opened up a huge hole for Jalen Milroe on the run prior to the touchdown. Latham displaced that defensive linemen! pic.twitter.com/hYhXEAcXTh

Great block by #Alabama RT JC Latham (#65) to spring the TD run. Dominant run blocker. pic.twitter.com/xqtu9PxKKm

I want no part of him unless it's at guard. His t-Rex arms are a deal breaker for me. I already didn't see him as much better than a top 75, late 2-3 guy. He's not bad, but doesn't jump out as a highly probable star.
