This pick looks good right now. I assume he moves to guard. Good at pass pro.
Amichia is a really good athlete. Massively strong. Ran the 40 in 4.99. Benched 225 pounds 32 times. Had a killer pro day.

Tweener size. He'll either have to grow an inch and put on 15 lbs to play RT, or lose two inches and add 30 lbs to play gaurd.
he's a guard
With those pro day numbers I see potential. I like this pick. I see him as a good candidate to move inside. Good developmental candidate for backup guard or even center. Typical TT O-line pick.
Picking a Ghana man to block the one in Detroit. Nice!
We will soon own the NFL. TT should be scouting in Accra.
This link reports him playing through pain. A good trait for an OL in GB.
Packers referred to him as a "Guard" in their official story on the pick. Looks to be the best athlete of the current group in the mix.
He is 308 lbs now, from what I've read on him.
Another college LT sliding inside in Green Bay. As a six, I like it a lot.
That and the guy from Canada, they've got a number of options to replace Lang.
They're only options if they can actually play. Like Don Barclay, he isn't an option because he ****ing sucks. I'm sure we'll see him out there though. I pray one of these rookies really catches on. Evans is stopgap on overdrive.
Campen will get Barclay ready!
Anyone but Barclay. I'd take EDS back before Barclay. At least Urn drew a personal foul against Suh and got him tossed. One positive play is better than none.
I do wonder if another year of recovery from his injury will improve Barclay's play.
Retirement will improve Barclays play.
As long as Barclay hangs onto those compromising pics of McCarthy, he's got a job in GB. First, Breno Giaccomini had the pics, then passed them onto Barclay for safe keeping.
We used to say the same about Newhouse, and he's still kicking around the league if I'm not mistaken.
So is Jerel Worthy. And I give thanks every single day they're kicking things elsewhere.

2016 was his 2nd year back from injury, that's supposed to be the year players are back to full strength. After his 6th year back from injury he should be full strength again.

Yeah, but did you watch him play last year? Not good.
Wasn't it Newhouse that plays for the Giants and took the cheap shot on CM3? 
Wicked clean shot. I don't think Clays shoulder ever fully recovered from that hit.
Barclay brought the football. They have to let him play.
heard on the radio, Clay said the shoulder is no longer a problem. he worked on strengthening the surrounding muscles with no surgery. we'll see...
Tdog posted:Eagles, clean shot, Allen Barbre
D'oh!
Thanks, Tdog.
But isn't that like saying Sapp's hit on Cliffy was clean? It may not have been illegal, technically, but I don't know that it was necessary.
I also see where I was close but no cigar on the Giants, too. He apparently signed with the Raiders in March.

Medicine should work
There is nothing wrong, cheap, late, dirty, or unnecessary about this block. It's textbook blocking by an O lineman doing his job.
