Experts saying the Bears killed it last night.

Oops, totally forgot about the OL. Yes, absolutely could be them too. It just won’t be the receivers

And the media people awhile back were all parroting how Caleb Williams did not want to be a Bear.  And Robert Griffin III told him to not go to the Bears if they drafted him.  SMH.  

Oh, and I loved watching all the photos of him having a ball with the Bears fans last night.  Jumped down into the mosh pit with 'em.

I think the bottom line (taken from what I have been reading about Poles and the offensive line) is that he is all-in on making sure Caleb Williams has a solid unit protecting him.  Of course it won't be a perfect OL.  Nobody in the NFL gets perfect.  There will be hurries, sacks and QB hits.  But overall it sure seems like this could be the best OL we have seen in many years here - tackle to tackle.

Kiran Amegadjie, the 3rd round pick last night of the young tackle from Yale sounds like an incredible addition to the unit.  The Bears really like Braxton Jones at LT, but the Bears want competition on that OL.  They see competition as a healthy thing.  So this newly drafted guy is expected to challenge Braxton Jones for a starting role this year, but probably won't beat Brax out - but what I love is the fact the Bears are having legit competition on that OL.  Nobody is getting "crowned" as being above some healthy competition.  

Poles stated last night that at the very least they got a solid swing tackle in this kid.  He has played both the tackle and the guard positions.  Here is exactly what Poles said about the new OT:

"You love the tools that he has. His pass [protection] is really good. Love his length, hand usage, and a big man that we believe is going to continue to get bigger and more explosive. So it should really increase the competition on our offensive line and make everyone better. We don’t really wanna put a ceiling on him. I see the progression is potentially getting himself into swing tackle setup. He can play guard, he played guard early in his career, too. So swing tackle, inside-outside, which is always helpful. We’ve struggled with flexibility in the past, so he has that ability. And then we’ll see where he ascends to. If that means competing to start this year or next year, that’s great. But if he ends up just being another really good offensive lineman, you can’t have enough."

I absolutely love that mindset.  "you can never have enough really good offensive linemen"  -  I think most savvy fans understand that QUALITY offensive line depth can make or break your season.  Surely it can make or break a playoff run.  As I get older as a fan, I'm looking at these player acquisitions through a new lens.  It is all about R.O.I. with these guys, "return on investment."  It isn't what these guys are now, but rather what the Bears believe they can be.  Kiran Amegadjie looks like a poster boy acquisition for this mindset.  His floor is a valuable swing tackle for high-quality depth, right now in 2024.  His ceiling is viewed as very possibly being a starting tackle, maybe even LT.  Words cannot express just how much I like this draft so far.  Just knocking it out of the park pick-after-pick.

I am so impressed.  We forget that this is a 22 year old kid just out of college.  He won't always say the perfect thing or do the perfect thing.  Heck, I'm an old man and I still don't get it right sometimes.  But with Caleb Williams (some) of the media, and some of the meatballs on social media, have an agenda here that is so wrong.  They have tried to find faults with the kid.  They have smeared the kid with some things that were flat lies when the facts were known.  I think it's the dark side of people when they feel they should hurt people's reputations this way.  They are hateful little people, jealous people I think, who want to take down a good young man.  

And this won't end.  In fact I expect it to escalate as Caleb starts enjoying success here.  So we'd better just get used to it.  It is sad, but it's the world we live in now.
