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.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
