Why does it always seem like we are reaching for our pick?

High risk, high reward with Poe. We are picking luxury wise, taking a huge risk IMO but it is a position of need.

Apparently Poe played every down last year at Memphis on defense.

we've had probowl guards forever....so what?

guards don't ****ing matter, QBs matter....

I think Poe will be a pleasant surprise, especially how down on him all of you are. I think Pioli may have gotten a little too greedy , wanting too much for the pick and was stuck making a last second pick. The eagles probably kept him on the phone , working a trade with Seattle at the same time then backed out on us in the last second.

I still think he's got a bright future...

QBs are risky. Missing on a QB in the first would set the franchise back 3-4 years. However, an honorable mention 4th-team All-Conference USA player is a worthwhile investment.

I wish people would post who they would have taken when they shit on the Poe pick.

I don't think it's a terrible pick but I wanted Hightower over anyone else that was available.

Not on this team.

If you draft young QB's but never let them play what difference does it make?...

This sums it up. Just come to terms with it.

OK, after reading around a bit, I think I'm caught up on why people are unhappy about picking Poe.

Is there any good plausible reason (other than "he can work out, but is not good in a game") why Poe failed to dominate in CUSA?

Sam Bradford is pissed.

Called Brockers! Where's my rep!?

Within 48 hours 80% of Chief fans will rationalize the pick. KCChiefs will post some clips of Poe getting a sack against Chattanooga and everyone will be happy.
