Maybe I do not get it, but Poe had a good combine. Why do Poe addicts not refer to his play at Memphis? Why is running fast more important for a DT than stiffling double teams or tackles for loss? He was average at a second-tier college a few months ago. Top ten pick?

He will bust wherever he goes.

Besides, I was under the impression we needed a 3 technique.

Please offer facts to help me get over this thinking--what really so great about Poe?

Don't we already have a Poe on our team?
Jason Shirley - 6'5" 345 lbs
Frank Kearse - 6'5" 335 lbs.

Poe will do just what Kearse and Shirley did and can do.

We need DB, pass rush, or LB help.

My thoughts exactly.

Caliborne
Blackmon (if he falls)
Coples
Kuechly
Ingram
Cox

Caliborne
Blackmon (only because he is a great talent and would be BPA if he falls)
Coples
Kuechly
Ingram
Cox

I'm hoping we trade back.

IF we go DT at #9, I think Poe is the only one that has the "potential" to deserve that. I'm not sure any of the DT's will be great in the next few years. So who will/could be great(or at least start) at 9? Coples, DeCastro, CB(Kirkpatrick, Jenkins), and all can probably had below 9 with a trade back

I agree that we do need a dominant DT but I'm not sure that there's one in this draft. I rather rotate the guys we have and get a #2 CB is one's available at 9.

For every Gholston there is a JPP.

Yeah, I think Poe is projecting high...all the quotes from teams scouting department act as if the combine and pro day stuff is nonsense for the most and there college film
means the most.

If Claiborne doesn't fall it is anyone's guess

[pantherclaw]

There's going to be a lot of upset fans come draft day.

[CatMan72]

Looking to the draft for immediate DT help is foolish. Honestly,none of these guys excite me. Just take BPA of trade down.

[mvp2011]

I'm not sold on any of these DT's. I want Claiborne

Explain all the draft visits then, a LB and 4 D-Lineman, and Joe Adams too. Can almost gaurantee were gonna be taking a D-lineman this draft

We cover our bases and every year we interview multiple people. Hell we have even interviewed Kalil.

If any of those DTs or DEs fall to later rounds we will have our eyes on them.

Hardy is a 6th round pick. It's not a matter of "giving up" on him, he was never really intended to be a starter and only is because Brown didn't pan out.

He has played well enough not for Hurney not to draft DE in the first. The first pick is always going to be an impact player on this team. If you look at it that way then there really is only two positions CB and LB
