Dontari Poe is really lazy and his lack of production should keep him out of the top 10… but hey, you never know.

I agree 1million percent.
He is what everyone refers to as a “workout wonder.”
However, he just isn’t explosive during games, which is why I would steer clear of him at all costs. If someone doesn’t have that “flash of brilliance” when playing, then regardless of combine numbers, he’ll get eaten alive playing in the NFL. If someone can’t dominate at the college level, then I don’t care how fast he runs his 40 or how many times he puts up 225lbs, he’ll get chewed up and spit out going against NFL players. This is a typical case of “working out to have a good combine.” Nothing more, nothing less. I hope he gets taken in the top 15, because that means that we won’t be the chump that takes him, as well as that means that all quality players will slide 1 spot further, thus giving us better talent available for the taking.

Poe is VERY lazy. seen him play. id compare him to Nick Fairley in the “taking plays off” department. Fletcher Cox and Devon Still are better suited.
