Dontari Poe... a bright spot in this terrible season?
I thought he played good against the Raiders and decent overall the last few games. Sure, I would like him to give better push in the passing game but he's held his ground in the running game. Poe is on pace to record the exact same stats as Ngata in his rookie season.
Anyone has his PFF rating for the last game and overall this season? And anyone thinks he's doing better than Dorsey and Jackson in their rookie season, not that it's hard to beat but well, he was supposed to be much more of a project than those two?? |

I've seen him make 2 or 3 plays so far this season, better than TJ

I said before that Poe was a terrific pick and exactly the kind of risky picks the Chiefs should be making. Even if he busts, he's the rare type of player you have to find in the first round.

I've called Poe a bust a few times out of pure anger towards Pioli due to his draft track record and due to how awful this season has been. Realistically though, it's going to take time to see how he pans out.

Poe was a great pick because he is exactly the kind of ballsy pick Pioli has refused to make in 4 years. It just happened 4 years too late.

Picking a guy with a bad resume with a lower division school to play the most important position on your defense is a ballsy pick. It's one of the first moves Pioli made that didn't feel like a conservative pick.
And it's a great pick because Poe isn't a traditional nose tackle. He's a guy whose upside is to be the rare Vince Wilfork player who can play nose tackle well, but also has ability to play 3 downs because he can play across the line. |

Yeah, that was about as funny as calling him a "bright spot."
It wasn't that long ago that people here were calling Dorsey and Jackson Top 10 run defenders, and claimed they'd be even better with a solid NT in the middle. KC's run defense ranking as of October 30, 2012? 23rd. Yep. A real bright spot on this supposed Top 10 defense. (which is currently ranked 29th overall) A lot of folks here have completely overrated the level of talent on this roster. And some continue to do so. |

It's a good pick. I hate Pioli's history of ultra-conservative picks that are safe. This is the one pick where Pioli finally decided to go after an important position and gamble on a guy who has boom/bust written all over him. It's a damn shame he has been too stubborn to do the same at other positions, especially QB. |

The roster could certainly use some help, but it's better than you think. The shit coaching staff we have doesn't help. |

That's like saying you found a clean spot after you crapped in your pants.
