Poe will be taken early because there are only so many big guys on the planet who can move well.

That being said, even though he was on a bad team, his lack of on field productivity is alarming. And, he's not a NT in KC's system.

How do you figure?

Watch any clips you can of him and read reports he isn't a good run defender. He gets moved around on the line. He'd be best used as an end that is asked to get in the backfield, or as a DT in a 43.

Interesting...

Pick up Soliai and draft Poe; we could have one heck of a 5-2 defense (pretty much what the Texans run).

Bailey, Dorsey, Soliai, Poe, Hali
Houston, Johnson
Flowers, Berry, Lewis, Routt

In before the "he's 6'5 and too tall to play NT" people come in claiming he's now the "ideal size."

To be fair, looks like he measured in at 6'4 according to NFL.com on the combine site.

(I'm so happy for him. =3)

So he's officially listed as 6'3" 1/2

NFL Draft 2012: Dontari Poe Not A True Nose Tackle?

Headshot_tiny by Joel Thorman on Mar 6, 2012 8:30 AM CST in NFL Draft 2012


One of the big stories at the 2012 NFL Combine was Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe who tore it showing off his athleticism and strength. For a 6'4", 346 pound man, it was an impressive showing. Many people said he's one of the few true nose tackles in the 2012 NFL draft.

One respected draft analyst, Russ Lande or Sporting News, disagrees.



"After finishing film evaluation of Memphis Dontari Poe it seems clear to me that he is much more of a big 3 tech DT than a true NT," Lande wrote on Twitter.

OK, not a good start considering I wanted the Chiefs to consider him with the 11th pick.

"Poe seems more comfortable using quicks to attacks gaps & penetrate," Lande continued. "Doesn't play like a true 2-gap, run stuffing clogger."

Kinda tricky here but the Chiefs run a two-gap system. Remember Aubrayo Franklin last year? He had experience only in a one-gap, which is a big reason KC didn't pursue him. In other words, this stuff matters (no matter how big the name).

"Poe probably would fit best as a 5 tech DE in a 34 like San Diego or Pittsburgh plays, not in KC's 34 scheme as well though," Lande wrote.

I don't watch Memphis football so I'm not gonna sit here and waste your time acting like I know any better about Poe than Lande. But this is something to take note of.

And now for the dreaded comparison...

"Memphis DT D. Poe does not play like an elite talent on film often enough & reminds me of former 1st Rd Picks Ryan Sims & Jimmy Kennedy," Lande tweeted.

Ryan Sims...NO!!!! STAY AWAY! STAY AWAY!

I think we'll take Poe at 11 .....

I don't think Poe fits our defense. I don't think any of the top 5-6 DTs fit our defense actually.

The only one is the kid from LSU and he's a 5T in our defense, not a NT.
