Crennel is key to Dontari Poe pick Had Todd Haley remained the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, the selection of Dontari Poe may not have worked. But the Chiefs are now Romeo Crennel's team, and that's why taking Poe at No. 11 in the NFL draft on Thursday might be a shrewd move for a team that has missed by taking defensive lineman high in the draft in the past decade. Poe is a classic example of the long NFL draft process ... Dontari Poe's Journey: Tiger defensive tackle finds out NFL fate tonight NEW YORK -- Dontari Poe never expected to be where he'll be tonight, walking across the stage at Radio City Music Hall in a designer suit, shaking hands with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who'll congratulate Poe on becoming a first-round draft choice. Dontari Poe Goes 11th in NFL Draft Declaring for the NFL Draft a year early paid off for junior defensive lineman Dontari Poe as he was selected 11th by the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round of the NFL Draft Thursday evening. Poe is the first Memphis Tiger selected in the first round since DeAngelo Williams was the 27th overall pick by the Carolina Panthers in the 2006 NFL Draft. Chiefs go with Memphis DT Dontari Poe KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The Kansas City Chiefs filled one of their biggest needs with a massive gamble. Dontari Poe To Chiefs With 11th Pick In 2012 NFL Draft KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Chiefs selected Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe with their first-round pick Thursday night, filling one of their biggest needs with a massive gamble. Poe-tential: Chiefs draft Memphis nose tackle Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel sat in front of a group of skeptics and seemed almost giddy. He had his man, nose tackle Dontari Poe, and said it had nothing to do with Poe's performance at February's NFL scouting combine. Honest. Well, almost nothing. Kansas City Chiefs take University of Memphis lineman Dontari Poe Former University of Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe was picked 11th overall in the first round Thursday night by the Kansas City Chiefs. Poe is very un-Pioli pick, and that may be a good thing Bad pick. That's my first reaction to the Chiefs taking Dontari Poe. But here's the thing: I don't really know. You don't really know. And there is only one way to judge this: It's the most un-Pioli thing Scott Pioli has done in Kansas City. Which actually makes me like the pick a little bit, whether it was Pioli's desire or if he let Romeo Crennel influence him. Chiefs roll the dice on Poe If the Chiefs wanted to play it safe, they wouldn't have selected Memphis NT Dontari Poe with the 11th pick. They could have gone with the best interior offensive lineman in the draft, Stanford's David DeCastro, or an outside pass rusher like South Carolina's Melvin Ingram. They could have traded down, which they did in the first round last season, to acquire more picks for the later rounds. Dontari Poe Watch: DT Is Going to Need Several Contracts to Pay for His Bling As the top 10 came and went, DT Dontari Poe had to begin sweating just a little bit. Luckily for him, the Chiefs snatched him at No. 11. Poe is going to need the nice contract that comes with that lofty selection to pay for his apparent taste for bling. Poe was sporting jewelry on his wrists that I am going to assume is worth more than the total sum of my life's earnings. It was hard to even ...
