    The Kansas City Chiefs have signed first-round draft pick defensive tackle Dontari Poe. Financial terms were not disclosed, but as the No. 11 overall pick, Poe's four-year rookie contract is expected to be worth around $11.3 million in fully guaranteed money, including a signing bonus of $6,672,728. The Chiefs will also hold a fifth-year option, a standard component of first round contracts in the new collective bargaining agreement. The 6-foot-4, 346-pound nose tackle from Memphis is expected to start in the middle of a Chiefs' defense that ranked 26th against the run last season, averaging 132.0 yards per game.
