Looks like we are setting up to go all skill positions in the draft. I think this team is gonna end up being a whole lot faster/athletic by the time the season starts. 

That is a great point.

They were a good defense last year, but they weren't as good last year with Poe as they were with the DTs they used in 2016.  Their defense took a step backwards last year.

No. Atlanta improved from 25 to 9 in yards and 27 to 8 in points between 2016 and 2017

27 mill for Poe? That’s a lot

 

We wasted a first round pick on a rotation DT SMH

This doesn’t make any sense their defense was far better last year than the year before.

That was the problem with you and others ever thinking Butler was drafted to replace Star. They are NOT the same type of players. Just cause they are both considered defensive tackles means nothing. 

Butler is NOT a nose tackle. 

Educate yourself, or STFU.

so what was he drafted to do? Sit on the bench?

[Panthers8969]

in 2016 i played almost every rb playing Asslanta on draft kings. That strategy was not used last year...

[Krovvy]

Lion's fans really wanted Poe. They seem pissed their team didn't sign him for 10 million a year.

[TheSpecialJuan]

very fair deal 

[Cary Kollins]

Considering Star’s deal, this was a fuging great signing.

Poe is nasty and will bring welcome attitude to this defense.

Yes, I went to Pro Football Reference and clicked the arrow in the wrong direction for the yards and points columns.

My bad.  Not paying close enough attention.

Some people got pleasure out of my mistake though, so I made their night which is nice lol.

P.S. We still overpaid for an average NT that has had difficulty staying in shape and not stressing the discs in his back for his career.  Hopefully he won't consider this overpaid contract as time for him to relax and eat up.  Like he did with KC.

He was drafted as insurance for KK in case they couldn't sign him, plus have a solid back up for KK.

Jaw dropper...hell yes. DL is set IMO.  Poe is legit.

Man, Hurney?  Nice work!
