Poe is Mayock's top DT

I'm sure that won't change the negatice poe vibe that many have

Mayock is the first to say, ya rate by tape. If they hve a good combine, then ya go back and watch more tape, to comfirm or deny.

Most experts agree, he is the best dt in the draft. Worth the 9th overall, whether ya agree or not.

Of coourse, this doesn't mean the Panthers will draft him..

He was tied for 5th prior to the combine...that was based on his play and knowing he had a great skill set. IMO it just confirms the gap between 1 and 6 is small...

Also, in now way does Mayock turning his top 5 upsid down mean most experts agree...

I'm intrigued as hell about him. If we take him, I'll assume that the staff has done a ton of research on him and they feel like they can motivate him and coach him up. You can't teach his talent and attributes - however, that's what is said about most draft busts.

If we take a DT in the 1st, he's #1 on my wish list as of right now.

If he is, do we actually have a NT that would be the anchor for said hybrid?
Off the top of my head I don't think we have anyone over 310 lbs... You could say Edwards I suppose...

Edit. Kearse and Shirley are over 310lb. Shirley is almost 350lb apparently. So anchor? Maybe... Starter? Unlikely.

Exactly. I hate to say it but if he's going to pull off this mad scientist hybrid defense. Poe just assured himself a #9 pick in this draft.

The guy can play 3-4 and 4-3. Which would lead me to believe he's the guy Rivera would want.

If Rivera is willing to groom him and let him develop then Poe has the athleticism to be our next Kris Jenkins. But he is not going to do much in 2012. It will take him time to learn better hand and foot technique. hop we are longsighted enough to see potential down the road. Because if we do go DT, he would be my choice.

I think Poe is absolutely worth the #9 pick. I just feel Brockers is more worth it, but I still like Poe.

And Perry and Gilmore? I'd be shocked if either were drafted in the top half of the 1st. Perry might go a bit higher to a 3-4 pass rusher needy team like SD or NYJ, but if they pass on him I doubt he goes before the Patriots select.

Last year at this time I knew exactly who I wanted. This year, I haven't a clue. It is still a jumbled mess to me.

There are a number of good candidates, but no one seems to really jump out as the clear BPA once you get past Luck, RGIII, Kalil, and Claiborne.

The problem with Poe is none of us have access to game tape, and unless you are a Memphis fan, it is hard to get a clear idea of what he did on the field.

Poe, Brockers, Cox, Coples, Kuechley, Blackmon, Kirkpatrick, Reiff...hell, toss them all in a hat at this point. I think our scouts this year really have their work cut out for them to help MH make the right pick.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
