Allen is a big, silly sumabitch.
Guy can plug a hole though.
Personally, I think that Ryan Carrethers from Arkansas State is the guy to look at for the NT position later in the draft.
Former wrestler (understands leverage, e.g., Ted Washington, Kelly Gregg), is strong as bull and has a real nose for the play/ball. He's very instinctive in diagnosing the play and gets to the carrier while doing his job in occupying the OL. Has gotten better every single year and was, quite literally, dominant at times this past season. (16 tackles in a single game, 93 total tackles, 8 tfl, 4 sacks) Like Dontari Poe, he was basically a one man gang for the Red Wolves and I think his best football is ahead of him, especially when you pair him with legit NFL level LBs & DEs.
IMO, he's one of the most underrated/dark horse players in this draft.
Oh, and pretty good draft OP. I'd rather trade back into the top of the second and get Ward versus spending the #23 on him, and like others have stated, I'm not totally sold on Trai Turner as an NFL guard, but I really like the other picks.
