So he needed coaching, and suffered because of the way he was used?

Every year we hear about guys coming out of college that got by purely on athleticism. They lacked technique, but were such superior athletes that it was overcome.

Now we have Poe, who is supposed to be athletically gifted, yet he still didn't perform. Even against lower tier opposition.

I'm sorry but the excuses people are tossing out there are nothing but bullshit. There is very little reason to believe this guy will be something in the NFL that he was incapable of being in C-USA.

This FO backed themselves into a corner by coming out of FA with no one but Powe and Gordon on the roster. This is the worst type of draft pick, because need was the driving force behind it.

I wanted Barron or Tanehill after them dudes were gone. I didnt really give a **** anymore. I didnt want a guard at 11 and i didnt want a inside linebacker that will play 2 downs.

so, eh. I think i would take Matt Moore over Cassel. ok, i know i would. lol I freaking DESPISE Cassel as the starting QB of this team.

[Gravedigger]

This pick does one of two things: it signals that we finally have a decent to good nose tackle, or it's the final nail in the coffin for Scott Pioli here in KC. I'm good either way.

His team was lower tier. He was a bright spot.

When we all wanted Powe so early in the draft and kept freaking when we passed on him round after round, we learned that Scott Pioli has a far better feel for where guys fit in the draft than we do.

I'm not one who blindly puts my faith in the staff, but if they felt that he wasn't going to last much beyond the 11th pick, I'm inclined to believe them.

Again, look at the alternatives. The people that are pissed are pissed we didn't take an olineman. Linemen can be bought in free agency. The only place to find a nose tackle is in the draft. This guy is a big boom bust prospect. but he has potential to really really boom.

Do you even know what you are looking at

Mike Mayock: Good pick. KC's the perfect landing spot for him.

KCDC: Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaccccccccch!!!! My youtube game film says different bitch!!

I think you are dead on here. In fact I believe that Seattle might have taken him if we didn't.

I really didn't want DeCastro. Luke, Barron and Tannehill were gone. I liked Hightower but not at 11.

As mentioned, this pick has a high risk , high reward. But, we addressed arguably the biggest need in the first round. Let's hope for the best. It's not the worst thing they could have done with the pick.

At this point, all we can do is hope that Romeo and Anthony Pleasant know what they are doing.

Defensive tackle is THE position where guys with high upside bust because of lack of effort. More than any other position, fat guys that are fast flame out because they've never had to try before.

[In58men]

We drafted a guy who lacked numbers in a weak divison lol


Awesome job Pioli

You'd think that truth would be enough.
