POSITIVES
— Muscular, evenly dispersed build with tremendous length, wingspan and an imposing presence on film.
— Easy mover out of his stance with good quickness and agility to get to his spots on time.
— Can easily clench, engulf and end reps quickly when he sets inside-out on rushers.
— Shows impressive mobility in his lower half to bend and get into fits with superior pad level as a run-blocker.
— Has good initial leverage and pop behind his pads and in his hands to deliver jolt on down, angle-drive and double-team feed blocks.
— Eye-popping flashes of running his feet, staying attached and sustaining power through the whistle to finish.
NEGATIVES
— Disjointed footwork and body positioning in the second and third phase of run blocks saps his power and leads to erratic finishing skills.
— Struggles to maintain proper positional leverage and control against shifty defenders working across his face.
— Has choppy feet in his pass sets, leading to glaring oversets and delayed redirect ability against countermoves.

OVERALL
Kiran Amegadjie is a three-year starter inside Yale's RPO-heavy, run-first (60-40 run-pass split), zone-based scheme with gap principles mixed in. Amegadjie has a muscular, lean and well-rounded build with ideal arm length, wingspan and good athletic ability.
Amegadjie excels as a run-blocker, creating lateral displacement on angle-drive, down and double-team feed blocks with very good pad level and initial power. He works off the first to the second level with good burst and agility to intersect smaller targets, and he utilizes his tremendous reach to widen them out and secure rush lanes.
However, Amegadjie's sustain and finishing skills quickly dissipate deeper into the block due to erratic footwork and positional leverage, leading to defenders slipping off before he can reset and regain control. There are glimmers of him driving his feet to finish and dominate opponents, but they're few and far between on film considering the competition level he faced in college.
In pass protection, Amegadjie operated in an RPO-heavy, run-first scheme without many opportunities to take a true pass set on a widely aligned rusher. He did a nice job of staying inside-out, clenching and engulfing competition to end reps quickly in those instances, though.
Amegadjie will overset, misjudge timing with his hands and get manipulated out of position against countermoves. He still needs work on spacing and depth when sorting games and stunts to maintain levels.
Overall, Amegadjie is a proportionately built, long and easy mover on film. He has an NFL-starter look, but he shows mere glimmers of physical dominance due to his unrefined footwork, leverage and finishing skills. That makes him a high-end developmental tackle prospect with the tools to start later in his rookie contract.
