Poe's combine reminds me a lot of UNC's Marvin Austin

[g5jamz]

Very impressive. Loved seeing the Rich Eisen-like comparison with another DT his size.

[LinvilleGorge]

Similar, it's just that Austin is about 40# lighter.

[stirs]

I think he has a rare combination of size, speed and strength. Austin not in the same coversation as Poe.

With no tape, just combine, here are the top 5 DT's

Poe

Cox

Brockers

Reyes

Worthy/Still

If you look at combine only Brockers should grade out lower than Worthy or Still. It's a long way till April but I think if Brockers doesn't make a better showing he might slip a ways.

[LinvilleGorge]

Brockers certainly had a very underwhelming combine performance for a guy whose primary hype was due to his potential based on his overwhelming athleticism.

Cox and Poe definitely helped themselves.

You could be all over it here. I try not to let the combine change much, but at DT, you have to.

I cannot imagine every 34 team in the NFL not wanting Poe, and most of the 43 teams. Quietly, Cox put up some great numbers. I think I read the Panthers talked to Reyes at the Senior Bowl. Gonna be fun to see what we do, if anything, at DT.

True on 3-4 except, I've read some think he is too tall for a prototypical NT, and if so, he could slide past one or two 3-4 teams.

[Catalyst]

I think Poe is better suited for a 4-3 personally, but he probably could play NT in a 3-4.

[MHS831]

I think Poe is better suited for a 4-3 personally, but he probably could play NT in a 3-4.

The good: Michael Lombardi compared him to Kris Jenkins.

The bad: He only made second team all conference in Conf. USA. Who was first team? An opposing coach said he took plays off.

austin a better rusher. poe better stuffer.

rich eisen knows poop

[carolina-chuck]

anyone can be fast with no pads on. when the pads come on in football. its a big difference than running in the 40s feeling almost naked in spandex

[DoWorkBson]

Just heard his interview on nfl 32 hes working in az and talks a good game. His coach said they played a lot of gap control so his stats arent great. If we take a dt hed be my pick.

[Marguide]

One thing about Still that has taken him off my radar...if you watched the combine, did you notice how skinny his legs are? All of his weight is in his upper body.

That is not a good thing for a DT.

To the other extreme is Poe. His legs/butt are massive and proportional to his upper body. Although he is huge, he has the lower body to support that weight.
