The pundits are universally raving about this pick.

I'm not giving an opinion because I haven't studied up on this kid, but the media seem to love it.

This is pretty much where I am at with it.

I loved the Poe pick.

810 AM just said that scouts around the NFL called this guy a Malik Jackson clone.

Damn

Sure. I would imagine that they will pepper him along the line and bring him along slowly. It would be the sensible thing to do.

:facepalm:

4. MACKENSIE ALEXANDER, Clemson (5-10 ½, 189, 4.49, 1-2): Third-year sophomore. "Reminds me of Darrelle Revis," one scout said. "He just looks so confident out there. 'I am good, you're not going to beat me.' But he's not real physical and I thought he'd run a lot faster than he did." Another said the voluble Alexander "will talk you to death." Said a third scout: "Loves football. Kind of a selfish guy. More into just him. Probably quicker than fast. I just didn't see great top-end speed." Started 26 games, finishing with 44 tackles (four for loss), no picks and 11 PBUs. Wonderlic of 12. "Other than Kelvin Benjamin a couple years ago, in the ACC he has not faced up with much," a fourth scout said. "He's got to play inside. He's not ready for prime time outside. I see guys separate on him every now and then. I do think he's a good athlete and can become a starter. He's highly confident and ain't afraid to tell everybody. He's third round for me." Son of Haitian migrant workers. Lives in Immokalee, Fla.

Jones is going to wreck it.

What's wrong with Dee Ford? Mad he's been developing behind Hali and Houston? Are you too stupid to realize it's normal to take a few years to develop? Playing right away is the exception, not the rule. All great teams draft BPA, and develop.

Because they're experts at drafting in Madden and they know that every guy on the web who couldn't get a job as an nfl scout's transcriber's intern's assistant is a go-to source for draft insight.

Or they just don't understand how good teams draft long term. Which is understandable, since we've been put through decades of Carl Peterson and Scott Pioli.

So Poe is as good as gone huh. Makes me sad.

Beside one good game vs the chargers abysmal o-line he has been woefully underwhelming.

Love this pick.

Sorry if this has already been asked. Outside of Chris Jones reviews being very good, etc. Am I the only one slightly concerned on using a high 2nd round pick on a rotational player where we already have depth? I understand some say this mean Poe will be gone or whatever. That's to be determined. I'm just amazed we didn't address a bigger need to fill a potential starter and be more of an impact.

So you feel he has more talent than Jones? Not nit picking, just asking.
