how dare us want production like that out of OUR first round pick that played the same exact position in college as the guy picked by another team right after him.
Silly me for thinking we could get a first round pick that plays like a first round pick.
How "absolutely" ridiculous.

Fletcher Cox plays a 4-3 DT. He is playing pretty much the same position he played in college, and he came in a lot less raw than Poe did from a technique standpoint.
The Nose Tackle is a different position. It's a position that takes a much longer time to learn and isn't going to get you the same sexy statistics as a 4-3 DT.
So yes, in this case, statistics are for losers.
