I know we have Malcolm Brown, but I still think we could use another vet in the middle as part of the rotation ... keeping the big fellas "fresh" at the start of the
4th quarter is critical, especially in those close games.

How was the production from Poe in 2018?

Agreed. And you're exactly right, in fact, I'd rather do like New England and have a bunch of mid-salaried guys constantly rotating as is done with Hockey Front Lines - keep those horses fresh...

Dontari Poe will be 29yo in August, a first round selection (11) by KC in the 2011 draft.

Per ProFootball Reference, he started all 16 games for Carolina last year (available - √), Nine (9) Solo Tackles, Eight (8) Assists, Four (4) TFL, Three (3) QBHits, One (1) Sk (production - X* as a NT - so he's not a DT3)...

ProFootballFocus (FWIW) grades him Overall - 69.0; Run 73.2; Pass 58.3; so, he's a NT coming off on third downs, and we just let that walk out the door in Tyeler Davison...

Again, Saints FO must have confidence in the medical reports on Rankins and/or their depth to spell Big "Onye" (Sorry young'ins, Big O is reserved for Oscar Robertson, one of the real all-time greats in NBA)...

This makes the Malcolm Brown signing look even better...

Tyler is a FailClown now.
Only a one year deal.

Maybe there is depth we haven't yet seen.
