Biggest Surprise: Dontari Poe, DL, Memphis
To me, Poe was literally, the biggest surprise. At just under 6’5 and 346 pounds, Poe is an absolute monster. He is not just a 3-4 nose tackle, Poe is a versatile lineman who could be an absolute beast. The Memphis product is an athlete too. He displayed quick feet for his size in drills and he ran a 4.98 40-yard dash to back it up. |
He had something like 41 reps at 225 pounds in the bench press. IMO, this guy isn't getting past the Panthers at 9, and teams might be willing to move up to get him. Guys with that type of size, speed, and explosiveness are what you build your D line with. I'd love to see the Chiefs get this guy and use him the same way the Patriots use Wilfork.
