Rich got richer when Poe went to the Falcons. He is a dynamic player who needs to be properly utilized. I would have rued the comp pick loss but I would have preferred we sign Poe.
My memories of both Poe and Paea are from when they played the Cowboys.

Unfortunately, I remember Fred and Martin dominating Paea in 2014 to the point that I felt sorry for Paea.

I remember Fred struggling with Poe more than any other DT, but I think that was Fred's rookie year. They played the Rams in 2013 and 2014, but I only recall Poe being an issue in one game.

Well now Paea gets to go up against those two every week in practice and bye the time Sunday comes around he should be the more better.

Did you mean KC instead of the Rams?

Plus he can lend some Bench Presses to TCrawford while his shoulder heals

Paea did 49 reps at the combine

I'm not overly concerned about T-Craws strength but his shoulder injuries is a chronic issue. It seems like he's been injured since we drafted him...

An injury to each shoulder isn't chronic. According the the drs he isn't likely to have a problem with them for quite some time...after his career is over.

I heard this guy is good at stopping the runs.

Not worried about stopping the run. More concerned with where is the pass rush coming from and what the secondary will look like after the draft. Too many unknowns. How healthy will Dlaw be? Is Tapper ready? Can he provide a boost?. Will Irving progress or prove to be a jag? I could keep going. Too many question marks on this defense. Run stopping is actually their best attribute. We have active linebackers that help stop the run. Of course it helps that we have a ball control offense.
