The reason why I'm not concerned at all about Chapman? He squats 630 lbs and benches 600. Those are the best numbers out of anyone on Alabama's team, at least at the start of last season. Poe may have had an impressive combine, but I'll betcha anything that if Chapman didn't have his injury and was able to get measured at the combine we'd be talking about HIM as the physical freak and not Poe.

It'd be nice if he could naturally get a big heavier, but it's not a must. He's absolutely got the technique advantage over any other NT in this draft, and he'll have no problems at all in the conditioning department.
I agree. The strength of Chapman trumps any size concerns. Honestly, 310 lbs. is big enough to cause plenty of havoc if he plays with good quickness, leverage and motor. Chapman does those things...Poe doesn't.
