Nose Tackle

[jap1]

Does anyone else think we need to look at signing a veteran Nose Tackle? I know we just drafted Dontari Poe, and I have full confidence that he will soon become a stud NT, but for most DL it takes a year or two to get up to NFL speed (and strength). That having been said, should we look at some of the veteran nose tackles out there to rotate with Poe?

People who I have heard are available:

Aubrayo Franklin
Kelly Gregg (we'd have to talk him out of retiring)

It would be awesome if Poe is able to start Day 1 and hold down the position on his own, but being realistic, I doubt he could do that.

What are your thoughts?

And before this becomes a discussion of why we shouldnt have drafted Poe, we had to get a NT at some point, and that person is going to take a couple years to develop, so that fact (IMO) does not make this a bad pick.

the ideal situation is for the poepowes to both develop into solid NT'S so they can platoon and both stay fresh.
