Overall, it is always impressive to see some of the biggest players in the draft display their athleticism. Memphis’ Dontari Poe, who measured 6-foot-4 and weighed in at 346 pounds, probably helped his stock more than anyone. He ran a 4.98 time in the 40. Poe is the type of athletic, big-bodied prospect that I would imagine the Patriots would be interested in, but after his performance today, it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s selected before the Patriots are on the clock at 27.
