Poe is Mayock's top DT

I'm sure that won't change the negatice poe vibe that many have

Mayock is the first to say, ya rate by tape. If they hve a good combine, then ya go back and watch more tape, to comfirm or deny.

Most experts agree, he is the best dt in the draft. Worth the 9th overall, whether ya agree or not.

Of coourse, this doesn't mean the Panthers will draft him..

He was tied for 5th prior to the combine...that was based on his play and knowing he had a great skill set. IMO it just confirms the gap between 1 and 6 is small...

Also, in now way does Mayock turning his top 5 upsid down mean most experts agree...

I'm intrigued as hell about him. If we take him, I'll assume that the staff has done a ton of research on him and they feel like they can motivate him and coach him up. You can't teach his talent and attributes - however, that's what is said about most draft busts.

If we take a DT in the 1st, he's #1 on my wish list as of right now.

If he is, do we actually have a NT that would be the anchor for said hybrid?
Off the top of my head I don't think we have anyone over 310 lbs... You could say Edwards I suppose...

Edit. Kearse and Shirley are over 310lb. Shirley is almost 350lb apparently. So anchor? Maybe... Starter? Unlikely.

Exactly. I hate to say it but if he's going to pull off this mad scientist hybrid defense. Poe just assured himself a #9 pick in this draft.

The guy can play 3-4 and 4-3. Which would lead me to believe he's the guy Rivera would want.

If Rivera is willing to groom him and let him develop then Poe has the athleticism to be our next Kris Jenkins. But he is not going to do much in 2012. It will take him time to learn better hand and foot technique. hop we are longsighted enough to see potential down the road. Because if we do go DT, he would be my choice.

I think Poe is absolutely worth the #9 pick. I just feel Brockers is more worth it, but I still like Poe.

And Perry and Gilmore? I'd be shocked if either were drafted in the top half of the 1st. Perry might go a bit higher to a 3-4 pass rusher needy team like SD or NYJ, but if they pass on him I doubt he goes before the Patriots select.

Last year at this time I knew exactly who I wanted. This year, I haven't a clue. It is still a jumbled mess to me.

There are a number of good candidates, but no one seems to really jump out as the clear BPA once you get past Luck, RGIII, Kalil, and Claiborne.

The problem with Poe is none of us have access to game tape, and unless you are a Memphis fan, it is hard to get a clear idea of what he did on the field.

Poe, Brockers, Cox, Coples, Kuechley, Blackmon, Kirkpatrick, Reiff...hell, toss them all in a hat at this point. I think our scouts this year really have their work cut out for them to help MH make the right pick.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
