Interesting points, all. However, I just disagree that Poe's rawness is a drawback. Romeo is a fantastic developer of defensive line talent, and I think Poe's athleticism/size ratio makes him an elite prospect. His rawness can be corrected. If a man his size had polished technique, he'd be a top three pick.
If you can teach him to drop anchor, he will be an absolute wrecking ball in the middle. We had a horrible run defense last year, and it starts at the nose. The problem with the draft this year is that the #11 pick is too low for the players you want and too high for the players you could use.
We may as well completely forget about draft value or positional value, and just take the guy we think has the potential to be the best addition for the next ten years. In that case, for me it's Reiff, Glenn, Decastro, or Poe.
I'm with you on Kuechly. ELITE middle linebacker, but redundant given DJ's skill set.
