Think about it, Both men are physically towering of other players of their size and on the team.

Cam beasted mainly because of his size and skills

Poe will beast mainly because of his size and skills.

Cam plays the most important part on offense

Poe plays the (arguably)most important part on defense.

can yall ninjas put 1 and 1 together?:D:D

Look at franchise tenders for each position. DTs command less than corners and ends because contrary to poular bellief on here its not the most important position on D. Especially a 4-3 defense

The only problem is that neither Poe nor Brockers did much beasting in college.

Cam Newton was hands down the best player in college football the year he declared. Brockers wasn't even the best player on his own defense. Poe was, but then again, there wasn't another D1 caliber player on that D.

Both are intriguing prospects, but nothing like Newton was - hence why we're talking about them as possibilities at #9 or lower, not #1 overall.

Importance has nothing to do with it. It is simply an average of the top 5 five salaries at that position over the past 5 years. If a few teams each year way overpay for corners then their number goes up. If you had said that corners and ends are in more glamorous positions and there are more perceived superstars at those positions who demand big bucks then I would agree. You could argue that the middle linebacker is the most important position on the field especially in a 4-3 since they take all the signals and control the defense. But the franchise tag for linebackers is less than corners and DEs. Does that mean they are less important or less well paid.

I would say to this point, as a prospect, Brockers is more like Cam. Brockers flashed on the field and didn't have a great combine, much like Cam. Poe didn't flash on the field and had a great combine.

Im talking size factor. 6'5 Tree fitty pounds, thats a real big dt. Cams 6'5 245 dats a real big qb

Did you ever play an organized game of football? Like with pads and referees?

Having a stud dt is like starting your muscle.car build with a huge v8 engine. Once you get your monster installed, the headers(d ends), intake(linebackers) and exhaust(d backs) will make your car faster and run better than just the engine alone.

Add intake header exhaust to a v6 and your wasting your time.

Nice analogy huh?

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
