4.15 San Diego Slewage — RB Tauren Poole


In the real world: Poole was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Carolina Panthers. His is an interesting job situation:
  • The Panthers traded Mike Goodson to the Oakland Raiders,
  • Jonathan Stewart becomes a free agent next year, and
  • DeAngelo Williams turns 30 next year (and could be a salary cap-related cut if Stewart is re-signed).
Yes, the Panthers also signed Mike Tolbert, but they plan to use him as a fullback. Scouts, Inc. said of Poole during East-West Shrine Game practices in January: "Tennessee's Tauren Poole showed the most natural running skills of any running back taking part this week. He sets up blocks well, has good lateral agility and quickness, and showed good feel for cutback lanes. He looks natural carrying the ball and appears to be solidly in the middle rounds."

In the TUFF world: The San Diego Slewage bought this pick from Indy. You can't go wrong with an undrafted free agent running back at this point, especially considering the potential 2013 job situation.

  1. What can I say....he has Arian Foster written all over him. I hope I have the patience for it. Afterall, he doesn't wear Purple.
