Poe could be our Newton...

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

sorry i just :sifone:

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?

    • Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.
    • Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
