Wasn't a fan. With draft grades!

Of those 7 teams that chose other players, Only the Baltimore Ravens could have went with Allen at 16, the other teams who all selected other players, filled positions of need, or who did need DL help, but chose there WEAKEST position to fill(Colts drafting Hooker) and Allen went to the Redskins, who needed DL help, so he was a need for them. 

And a lot of teams took Foster off there board because of the diluted urine sample and he has a shoulder problem. But watch his game film, he's a top 10 talent in most drafts. If everything works out, San Fran got scary at the linebacker position. Would have been fun to watch Foster with burfict and Minter this year.

And i'm fine with the Ross pick! The Bengals needed SPEED in all areas, and they got the fastest playing WR in this draft.

The Eagles took a DE at 14, Derek Barnett, so Allen was not the BPA on their board, nor the top DE on their board.

Foster was ridiculously overhyped, IMO.  Even if you take away the fact that he has shoulder and concussion issues, failed his drug test at the combine,  blew up and was sent home from the combine, nobody had any workout numbers on him due to his injury, and reports of poor interviews, the guy showed poor instincts on the field and made up for it with his athletic ability because the bama DL kept blockers off of him.  Tell me a MLB with 7 sacks, no interceptions, no forced fumbles, and no fumble recoveries in his college career is worth a top 10 pick.  Foster was this year's Rey Maualuga.
