Personally I would rather have taken Allen. You don't run into his quality defensive linemen every day and I almost always go for addressing the trenches first. The idea of him rotating with Geno keeping both fresh - and together on critical pass rushing downs makes me salivate in an ugly way.
Having said that I understand the pick. The need was real. We've been looking for a guy to take the pressure off Green, and his film looks really special.
I'm happy with the pick. I'm hoping the next two days address a lot of needs with quality difference makers.
Just for the record, I think Green Bay ends up with Mixon and the Jets end up with Cook. We'll have to settle with Kamara if we plan to take a RB in the 2nd.
Hope I'm wrong. I want one of the first two guys or a stud LB,S,OL or DL. But I believe the pick with be Kamara.
My concern with Allen, Ravens had a need and love Alabama players and passed on Allen. If he was such a great talent and filled a need why pass? I think the injury may have been even too much for Ozzie Newsome and that is saying something.
