Just messing fellow boards-people, that's Tom Selleck.

This is who I mean...

With the number eighth pick in the 2017 draft, the Carolina Panthers select:

Jonathan Allen

6'3 286 DE/DT Alabama

Now before the rabble rabble commences, let me put it this way: We're talking about the top prospect who could be available.  Well this gentleman was the consensus top-overall pick at one point for last years draft and then came back to school where he was just as good once again.  Let's look at these teams ahead of us:

Browns (x), 49ers, Bears, Jags (x), Titans, Jets, Chargers

I see two teams he's just not going to.  We've got Garret, Fournette, 2 legit safeties, I'd like to think at least one QB going high, Solomon, Lattimore, Howard.  It's not some unlikely scenario he falls to us.  

The question is (maybe even more than Solomon Thomas): Can Allen play as a 4-3 DE?

Shoulder issues, the history of "great" Alabama defensive players not panning out and the fact he plays a position we are already stacked at(he is not nor will he ever be a full time 4-3 DE, he is a DT) makes this a huge pass. If we are going to do something as stupid as draft Allen we might as well just trade Luke and Cam for conditional seventh rounders to the Patriots because that's the level of stupid taking Allen at 8 would require.

Something to note: He played DE in a 4-man front a lot of 2014 and was great.  That Tennessee game put him on the map.  

Also, we love having a rotation. I mean, once injuries set in, KK was even being brought outside.  I'm buying we'd pick Allen if there. 

Imagine Allen-Butler-Short-Peppers on passing downs 

Wowza

Problem is that if he falls, that shoulder would have to be worse than we thought. Reminds me of the Clausen situation. NFL teams aren't that dumb. Sometimes there is a reason to be wary.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
