I like that Poe is going get a breather so he can be fresh in the fourth quarter when we need him the most. That's what I'm hoping this is the reason for the Chris Jones pick is for fourth quarter dominance. With our scoring challenged offence we need that stout defense. [Reply]
He won't be primarily be a NT. Hes a rotational player along the line that projects to take Jaye Howard's job when Howard's contract runs out. Howard is only on a two year deal. Jones looks to be a DE in a 3-4. He'll play Devito's role. Poe isn't going anywhere. [Reply]

I just LOL so hard when people are so stupid and thing the draft is for need. That's what Free Agency is for. Draft is for development and building. [Reply]

Have you not seen the trend in the NFL? Defense wins championships.
Denver had a great pass rush everywhere. So did the NYG. So did the Ravens. So did the Seahawks. So did the Steelers.
Pass rush is the most imporant part of winning a championship. Not QB. [Reply]
Dorsey's philosophy of BPA is right. He had turned this franchise around from a utter destruction. Dorsey knows what he's doing. He's making this a top 3 defense. [Reply]

Keep in mind that Jaye Howard had a reputation for quitting on plays when he was at Florida. Gotta give Sutton credit for this much, his players play tough. [Reply]
