Poe is Mayock's top DT

[Marguide]

And then take Kuechley, Kirkpatrick and Reiff right back out of that hat :)

None of those guys would be my pick at this juncture, but we must be careful not to offend their constituencies.

It gets testy up in here.

No lb. And dre kirpatrick is falling fast. Yes poe plz. I can picture him lining up almost anywhere on the dl.

[LinvilleGorge]

If Kirkpatrick is falling, I'd love for him to fall all the way to us in the 2cd round.

[Ivan The Awesome]

If Kirkpatrick is falling, I'd love for him to fall all the way to us in the 2cd round.

That sure as hell won't happen. There's plenty of Cb's that will fall to the second where we'd be fine to get them there. Dennard, Minnifield, possibly Jenkins.

I doubt it too, but crazier things have happened in draft history.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

draft him, let him get some playing time this year but Edwards start. Let Edwards mentor him. I've heard Edwards is good at those kinds of things. He can be there for him when coaches can't. He can work a lot with him. Poe has the skills no doubt.

[DOMOMAN]

We learned from Detroit this year that you can never have enough good interior defensive linemen.. with a future of Poe/Brockers/Cox + Fua and McClain the rotation should make life much easier for our Ends and Linebackers to stop Tight Ends

[Kurb]

Ask the Jets about Gholston

Fixed/Samething

Dewayne was thought of as a late first rounder. Then everyone became enamored with him and his workouts.

Poe smells a bit too raw for Carolina's tastes at #9, but I could be wrong. I'm thinking Nick Perry or Stephen Gilmore, even though one might not be available at 9 and one might be a big time reach there.

Nick Perry is projected to play OLB in a 3-4.

ALL of the experts are saying that he would struggle as an every down DE in a 4-3.

[MadHatter]

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 think this is spot on.

There are 5-6 Good DT's in this draft (all are closely rated and each has question marks). There are not any dominant DT's in this draft that are plug and play studs.

That is why I want to sign another DT in FA and go a different direction in the draft.

[stirs]

If you go back 10 years, not many DT's taken in the top 10 have made immediate impacts other than Suh

[Miaoww]

I dont think that there is really a dominant DT in this draft, but if I had to choose one, I would choose Poe.

He has the natural things that cant be coached, size, strength, speed and explosiveness.

Our coaches can teach him the technique and anything else.

I'd choose Cox.

Back in 1995, I'm betting Mayock would have loved him some Mike Mamula too.
