Have another Derrick Thomas or Neil Smith? Wouldnt you like to be one of those teams that hits on a player in the first round like that rather than wondering if your #11 overall pick is going to get his first sack in year 2 of his playing career so we can clap and cheer on his progression good for him yay!
wouldnt you like your low expectations of our positional talent/development, be raised? Wouldnt that be awesome than what you expect of players now you give a free pass?
Hey maybe Allen Bailey will learn how to beat a 1 on 1 block and not get blown off the ball, or Jalil Brown will know how to not go all Will Bartee and faceguard or that Jeff Allen wont get blown off the ****ing ball every play, but it's okay, he's changing positions, he gets a pass.

Because even his biggest critics on CP said we won't know what we have in Poe in year 1.
Nobody has said Jeff Allen has tremendous upside, nor are they now. Nobody said that about Tyson Jackson -- everyone knew his ceiling was a Ty Warren guy who maintained his gaps but would never be a pass rusher. And nobody has talked about Bailey beyond being an interesting project.
Nobody is giving Poe a free pass. He exceeded expectations and continues to improve. Nobody is saying he's awesome or is a lock to be awesome. We're saying he's on the right track.
