The tape wasn't impressive, but I don't see anything that couldn't be corrected. He needs to play lower on every snap and develop moves/counter moves. On one play he did a pretty sick spin move to side step the OG and apply pressure. He'll definitely be a project.

If Poe was available in the 6th round like Jerell Powe I'd be excited about that project. We're talking about taking him in the 1st.
Pioli (as fat as he's been about the QB position) has done very well drafting for this team, and it's because he didn't take "project" players with high draft picks. Even though Tyson Jackson absolutely turned into one of those players, the thing about him coming out of college was that he'd be immediately ready to start as a 3-4 DE. That's why Pioli liked him. Thankfully I don't see us parting from that tradition.
Our NT position right now includes a project player one year into his career and a tweener. We need a guy who's got a much higher floor than Poe.
