There's not really a single 2-gap NT I like from this draft. Poe comes the closest, and Ta'amu is more of a 1-gap NT.
If Ta'amu was just a one-minded dedicated block of granite, he'd be so perfect for the role I'd cry. But he tries to slice and dice through the offensive line. So I'd take a look at him with our 3rd, but not much more before that. We're going to have to completely re-coach him, and he may take a full three years to live up to his potential if we did.
I'm souring on Poe more and more. It's not very frequently that a massive NT with inconsistency issues from a small school lives up to a 1st round draft status. I'd be happy if he fell to our 2nd, though.
Chapman really is the best for our defense, but like it's been mentioned, he's coming off a killer injury for that position. If he falls to the late rounds like 6th or 7th.
The Chiefs really need to make a serious effort to bring in Soliai. He is a massive 2-gapper that offensive lines respect, looking for his second contract. The Dolphins can't retain him and chase Manning or Flynn. So he's hitting the market.
