Some Film Comments On Poe, Cox.

Watched multiple games of Fletcher Cox, and to be honest my feelings haven't changed too too much about him. He's a great athlete. Cox cont: lots of pass rush potential. He was so light in 2011, I know he's gotten bigger/stronger which is good. Got pushed around a LOT. Cox played 0, 1, 3, and 5 technique in 3 Gs. Looked best from the 5. Showed great ability to bend. Motor was good at times, great at others. Don't know if Cox is a Day 1 starter in NFL tho. Needs to improve technique (pad level/hands, etc). Needs to show he can hold up at POA, That being said - he shot gaps very well, showed ability to bend, and is a great talent overall. Definitely 1st Rounder to me.

Watched 3 games of Dontari Poe...first one against Miss State and he was AWFUL. Very tough to watch at points. On the ground a LOT. Poe's motor is almost non-existent. He doesn't play with a lot of urgency. He's caught off balance way too often, all that said, he has great feet, like GREAT feet. He runs the hoop well. Played more 5-Tech than I though he did and looked good off edge, I think Poe's far from a sure thing. He plays with decent pad level, has a couple of go-to moves as a pass rusher but is still very raw.

Yeah I wanted him at 1st but as you look at him closer there are a lot of negatives. I wouldn't mind him if we draft him because that means Hurney thinks he will work to harness his tremendous athleticism. All I want in the draft anymore is guys with work ethic that are good athletes I don't really care about the hype (whether College or Combine hype).

I said this last week: Poe will not go in the first round.

Oh he'll go in the first round alright. I wouldn't agree with that move but someone's gonna fall in love with his athleticism and take that big risk. He's just part of a long line of raw athletic freaks that will get selected in the first round.

I quite like this guy's analysis though. Cox may be the safest of all these top DT's. I would be happy with him with our first rounder.
