Let him drop to the Giants. JPP Jr.

Another statement to show Giants fans are dumber then rocks. How is this guy anything like JPP?

he has an extremely large set of thighs and a narrow anus but that does not a hall of famer make….it could make a flamer in the hall but not a hall of famer…….

I also hear he is all of the time being confused with his grandfather Ed Allen……or his twin step brother, Vernon Gholston. That is what I heard…You know, inside info.

Hey maybe the Ravens will finally draft a guy named POE!

This wreaks of a potential Steelers pick, draft him a year our two before the vet is done in Hampton, let Poe develop till he’s ready, wouldn’t mind seeing that happen.

He peaked too soon so he had to fall. I just hope he falls to my team. To a lesser degree the same with Luck. Now is he going first or second? It’s all just crap to talk about until the draft.

If college game film was so important you’d never have heard of guys like Antonio Gates, Rob Gronkowski, James Harrison, Willie Parker, Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis, Fred Jackson, Josh Cribbs, Bart Scott, Miles Austin, Jeff Saturday, London Fletcher, Victor Cruz, Tony Romo, Wes Welker, Kurt Warner, or Arien Foster (those are only a few that come to mind).

Point is, the draft is a total crap shoot. Poe’s raw talent and physical tools give him an upside that’s several teams will feel is worthy of first round draft pick.

Typical draft “expert” move. Why can’t Mayock just admit he fell in the same trap if being starry eyed over a workout warrior. Then he claims he watched tape and changed his mind, when in reality, he asked a scout, and pawned the info off as his own. He and Kiper do this every year and all the other so called experts like Silva just repeat Kiper or Mayock’s workout assessments.

First, why would Mayock “want to show what kind of freak thie kid is.”. It’s almost like he’s implying a vested interest in Poe’s draft position.

Secondly, I expected more from Mayock being smart enough to look at game tape along with the combine before his opinion is formulated.

“Poe’ly.”.

Poe was ranked in the late first round early second even before his awesome Pro-Day.

I could definitely see the Steelers picking him up if Hightower isn’t there….maybe even if he is there. Casey Hampton isn’t getting any younger, and hes coming off an ACL tear. First round picks of Hood in ’10, Hayward in ’11 now if they can get Poe they have their front 3 locked up for years. The Steelers D is predicated on having a solid front 3 clogging up the middle for the linebackers to do their work.

Regardless of the tape, hes a freak and the Steelers can coach him up.

I think that it’s funny that so many people lay all of Poe’s college performance (or lack of it), solely at his feet… Anyone think that he may have had to endure lousy Defensive Coordinator/D-Line Coaching? These young men must depend on proper coaching and Adult guidance in order to excel. It could be possible that the only ‘freedom’ that he had in his personal development, may have been his personal preparation for the combine.

The author seems to give Mayock a pass for not doing his homework before running his mouth. He might not influence teams, but he does influence the fan base, and the fan base can influence a team. Ticket sales matter.

mayock is a fool if he ranked poe so high after a workout and before watching tape. yet pft still breathlessly passes on mayock’s idiocy as if it is gospel.

“Coming off the Combine I wanted to show people what a freak this kid Poe is — and he is a physical freak, no doubt,” Mayock said.

Really Mayock? Is that your job? I thought you evaluated college football players and judged their potential to become NFL players, not pushed particular players to show us–the great unwashed–what a “freak” somebody is. Now that Mayock has shown everybody what a freak he is, The Scout is now backing off of his acclaim for this kid. Can you say “Hype”? You bet.

After watching a half a season of Albert Haynesworth play for the Pats, it’s quite possible to have all this potential and not live up to it..

Mike Wayoff reserves the right to change his mind dramatically, up to three days after the draft is completed.

This is all great guys but what does it have to do with Tim Tebow? Come on man. It’s been a while I need me a little fix. Just a little something, something. Just to hold me over until the methadone clinic opens in the morning.

PS Hmmm workout tapes or game tapes, how do I match the two up? Oh I know, one involves playing football against people. Use that subjective data and disregard the underwear olympics.

PSS Speaking of underwear, guess who supports Tim Tebow? Ahhhh got my fix
