There's misconception. It wasn't just arthritis. He had labral tears that required surgery. Upon the medical exams after that surgery, it was discovered Allen had mild arthritis.
But the surgeries to repair the tears were done over two years ago for one and a year ago for the other, and he had very good 2015 and 2016 seasons.

Ultimately, Allen is in the same boat as Fournette and John Ross. Both have some (potential) red flags in terms of medicals, but all have proven to produce through any surgeries and injuries.

So if you're worried about shoulder issues for Jonathan Allen, skip him. But for the team willing to take a chance and it does prove that he isn't hindered by it, the team(s) that passed will likely regret it.
