Yes, Memphis really had no idea how to use Poe.

I like Brockers more because I have seen him play (not many of us saw a Memphis game) and acknowledge his celiing in this system...but Poes ceiling may be much higher and Romeo knows better than ANY OF US what to look for in defensive linemen.

This pick is Romeo saying "I can develop this kid"

I have to like the pick.
If you think about it, there are actually way fewer blue chip 2gap NTs, than there are franchise QBs.
If there's any position to roll the dice on defensively, this is the one.
The pick still scares the bejesus out of me though.
