I would love to know the success rate of 4-3 DEs who have the measurables of Allen. Can not be high.
The shoulders concerns me. But the below average testing numbers across the board concern me more.
If we ran a 3-4 I would be all over him. As a pass rusher in a 4-3 he isn't what we need. We need someone who can get to the QB fast. We have the slow power guys who play the run well and take 6 seconds to get close to the QB.
Barnett has me worried because of his athleticism. As a DE Allen is outclassed by Barnett.
I just dont know.
I won't bang the drum for Allen.
But on draft day if he is available when we are on the clock I will probably be hoping we pick him.
If we do pick him I will be on the bandwagon.
If we pass on him I will be mad for at most 24 hours and move on.
