Proven production is what smart teams draft in the first round. Poe draws double teams because NTs draw double teams by design. He looks like he should be better than he is, right? But he ISN'T.

Sims looked good playing on the same line with Julius Peppers. I can't name anybody else on Poe's Memphis defense, and I'm willing to bet a lot of others couldn't either.
Poe is bigger, stronger, and more athletic than Sims. Hell, he's bigger, stronger, and faster than B.J. Raji.
Yes, he should've dominated his competition. It's a red flag that he didn't.
But, he seems coachable. If Romeo can coach him up, he could be exactly what we need at the nose.
