Chiefs Select Dontari Poe In First Round Of 2012 NFL Draft

The Kansas City Chiefs have selected NT Dontari Poe out of Memphis in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft.

Wow. Shocking pick.

The Chiefs finally have their nose tackle. The Chiefs must think they can help Poe develop. If anyone can use this guy, it is Romeo Crennel.

Here is the scouting report on Poe couresy of FanSided’s NFL Mocks:

"Poe is not a name a casual draft follower will not be onto yet, but as soon as the pre-draft process rolls around everyone will know who this massive specimen of a man is. Poe is absolutely huge and has good athleticism to boot. He has an intriguing blend of size, strength, and athleticism. He is not going to make a ton of plays at the N.F.L. level, but he’s going to open up a lot of room for other players to make plays. His potential to play nose tackle also greatly boosts his draft stock. I project Poe as a 1st or second round pick more because of the position he plays and his upside, more so than his ability right now today. He has a lot of technical work to do to play with better leverage and learn how to beat double teams most consistentlyHis draft stock will depend a lot on the pre-draft process because he doesnt play a heavy slate of top competition. He’s competing with players like Josh Chapman and Alameada Ta’amu to be the first nose tackle taken off the board (my favorite of the three prospects is Te’amu)"

So, do you like the pick?
