Jon Beason Says Poe Would "shore Up Position"

[CollegePanther]

He was just on ESPN. He also said he thinks Cam can be the best QB ever.

[Donald LaFell]

fug that!

Shore up?

[CollegePanther]

Shore up?

Haha i changed it, but i think it can be either way

[cotblock]

Beason wants a beast in front of him. I don't blame him...but I don't think he's gonna get Poe.

Brockers is moving back up the boards in spite of his girly weight lifting.

Can't blame a LB for wanting a blocker eater, but I don't think that's what we need. I think we need a game-changer/play-maker who can make plays on their own. I did not see a lot of creative blitzes with LBs last year, so IMO we need a guy who can penetrate on the DL, like Fletcher Cox.

I know we had a lot of injuries, but it really depends on what kind of D we will be running. If the pressur eis supposed to come from the LBs, then I could see us going with a guy like Brockers (1st) or Still, who may be there in the 2nd. If our DL is supposed to create the pressure, then we need a penetrator.

Was Beast on SportsCenter? or ESPNnews?

Fletcher can eat blocks as well.

It all depends on what kind of a player Ron Edwards will be. I haven't really watched him a lot so IDK if he's a space-eater or not but you need a space-eater at NT and hopefully someone who can penetrate at the other spot. Rignt now I think Fletcher Cox is the guy who is trending if we stay at that spot. I wouldn't be mad at the pick because I think he plays more violently than either Brockers or Coples (if we went DE).

The deciding factors for me to go with Coples (if Claiborne is gone and we can't trade down) are

A.He has rare size, speed, and versatility.

B. Jerel Worthy or maybe even Devon Still could be there when we pick in the 2nd round.

C. DE is a more valuable position that DT IMO...especially if that guy gives you the flexibility to move him inside on long passing situations (similar to what the Giants do with JPP, Tuck, and Osi).

[Ivan The Awesome]

I guess that says a lot about our DT's eh?

[DawgzLife]

Fletcher can eat blocks as well.

I agree. Didn't mean he couldn't.

I see Cox as a different sort of player than Brockers, Poe or Still. I like Cox by far better than the rest & feel he is a better pick than Ingram or even Coples (Coples b/c of risk, big reward or a waste of a pick). I would take Cox in the 1st or deal with Still in the 2nd if necessary. Our 2nd rounder should be a CB or LB IMO tho.

The Panthers do not have a poe like dt. They have a bunch of smaller tackles.

Of course beason wants poe. Beason knows what kind impact poe wil have on the rest of the defense.

Yeah, Worthy is a great player as well. Coples has amazing potential, but Hurney likes to make sure he does not miss in the 1st. To me, that would be a player more like Cox than Coples. Coples is the highlight pick, but I prefer not see the Panthers go in that directions due to his on-off history. Coaches may have changed at UNC, but amzaing players perform no matter the circumstances.
