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.

Every bad pick starts out with, "if xxxx can coach him up, he could be exactly what we need at xxxxx".
Yes...he should have dominated his competition. He didn't. End of story.
Put another way, how often do mediocre defensive linemen in college become star defensive linemen in the NFL? I can't think of one example.
BTW, you can "coach up" technique. You can't do it with desire, motivation or motor.
