6'4", 304lb, 32 reps on the bench press and ran a sub 5.00 40 time at his pro day. Probably a guard for the Packers.
Those are pretty decent stats for an O lineman.

2016 ALL-AMERICAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE FIRST TEAM (COACHES): OT Kofi Amichia, USF, Sr., Riverdale, Ga./McEachern,...Also named first team for the Bulls was senior offensive tackle Kofi Amichia (Riverdale, Ga.) who has started 25 straight games at left tackle for a USF program that has broken the school’s rushing record in back-to-back seasons - posting 3,501 yards and 44 touchdowns on the ground in 2016 - and consistently ranked among the least sacked teams in the nation. - South Florida Football

Lists as a G/C on some sites and as a C at nfl.com (which has no grade or report on him at all). But is strong, has good quickness and footspeed for an OL. If he projects as a G/C, could be "Sayonara, Mr. Barclay".

Barclay can play all positions, just plays them like shit.

That would be music to my ears!!! Big, strong, quick, and agile and no Barclay!!! My favorite pick today. Run game could be great this year with all the additions.

Two 7th rounders to go. Hoping for one of Ejuan Price or Ifaedi Odenigbo.

The Vikings also got Hodges. Christ I can't believe Thompson picked both Jones and Yancy when he could have had Bucky Hodges.

Perspective, guys.
For every Terell Davis and Antonio Brown, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of guys who never see their 3rd year.
Let's not let the fact that your personal late round draft crush didn't get drafted by our GM put a fly in the ointment of the best offseason TT has had since 2009. This draft looks really really solid, AND he participated (somewhat) in FA.

Everyone repeat after me...
The draft grade given to the 2017 class is 'I' for Incomplete until after the 2019 season.

The Vikings did some work this year, without having a 1st rd pick - Cook, Eflein, & Jaleel is a really nice trio of guys. Their late round picks are good value as well. Thankfully they still have Bradford, and we have Rodgers.

I don't know what you're talking about, I mean Bradford was the #1 overall pick in the draft and Rodgers was like #24. Therefore Bradford >> Rodgers right?

There is staying true to the board but 3 running backs? I guess it is bulking up the special teams. Whether it is running backs or project linebackers or tightends - as long as they get the job done who cares. Be worried if I was Jackson or Michael though.

How good was Eddie, took 3 guys to replace him.
