If we want a NT- look no further than Dontari Poe

If we really want a NT for the future, look no further than Dontari Poe. He is the strongest guy at the combine with 44 reps. He is 6'5" and 350 lbs. He can collapse the pocket and can take on double teams with ease. He is compared to Vince Wilfolk. He could play nose or 3 technique easily and would be our Kris Jenkins.

He is listed as the third best DT in the draft but I think he may end up being the best one in the NFL. He is only a junior and is going to only get better as his body matures and he gets even stronger.

He is projected as best in the 1 technique in the 4-3 but he could also play at the 3 technique as well.

Seems perfect for us especially if we moved down and picked him up around 20. I wouldn't be against taking with 9 though. He could be here for a decade.

I am on the Poe train. He offers us so much versatility.

Also, people forgetting Ron Edwards is here. Shirley, Kearse, and McClain would offer amazing depth behind them.

I'm all for it.

I was hoping we could trade back and pick him up in the teens-20s, but I'm starting to think he just combined himself into a much higher pick.

Who would be our UT?

He may project more a 3 technique than a 1 technique until he learns better leverage skills so you could plug him in right away. His strength is penetration in a 1 gap system. The knock is that even at his size and strength he needs work on taking on double teams. Remember he is a junior. I would give him reps at 3 technique and start Ron Edwards. In a year or two would move him inside as Edwards gets too old.

Warren Sapp loves him and say all he needs is work on technique.

Poe is another guy i hoped would slip to us in the second. He is not now. His 350lbs look nothing like Wilfork's. Gotta love Big Vince but he has several lbs around the gut. Poe is leaner and stronger. He will not make it out of the first. On the merits of pure physical gifts he is a HUGE reason i was not aboard the BROCKERs BANDWAGOn.

Damn, Brockers and Still are little kids compared to this guy.

What makes you think he can be here for a decade though? Otah wasn't even here for a week.

Look at how athletic he is. He carries his weight very well and is very smooth. He seems to run with no effort. I don't remember injuries being a big issue.

The comparison is more about collapsing the pocket, getting upfield annd holding off double teams versus actual physical appearance.

Man, fug brockers and his one year of experience. All I needed was one little reason to hop off that overrated bandwagon and this is it. Brockers is much lighter and he ran a 5.37. Screw that. If Brockers doesn't have the size, the physique, the speed, the knowledge, or the experience, what is there to look at? How can he possibly have more potential than Poe? We need to start crossing our fingers guys because we sure as hell weren't the only ones to notice Poe's combine.

Plus Brockers is from LSU and he kinda looks Like Jamarcus Russell. No thanks.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
