Would you be disappointed if this guy was the pick at 16??

[Sub Zero]

I'm starting to like Zach Allen of BC..

PRO: Powerful hands, good motor, good inside and outside rusher, tough against the run and took on double teams, strong techniques and fundamental,  plays smart, great size already..

Cons: Not very athletic, No bend or a variety of pass rush moves.. No wow factor,, Kinda looks like he is what he is and probably a finish product,  not much upside...

Solid pick a CJ type if we are able to get a dynamic pass rusher in FA, I can see drafting this guy to be the all over line steady guy.. He could be a Jared Allen thoe as well.. Lunch pal guy who brings it every play..

What you think??

[Mainter]

I've been saying this for a month now as well. He might not have a whole lot of sacks, but he makes a lot of tfl. Would be a Strong edge defender in a 43 for years to come

No, I wouldn't be disappointed at all. Might be a couple guys I'd rather get, but I could get behind this guy.  Will have to keep an eye on all these DE prospects and OTs as well durring the combine.

If we go DE at 16, I won't be disappointed. Doesn't matter who we pick.. We need rushers

Could also be dexter Lawrence dt from Clemson  

some say it’s to early for o-line but with the big dog saying with a dominant offensive line it makes everything easier look for us picking o-line in the first round if it’s a big reach maybe a move down to get more picks

[Ivan The Awesome]

They need to fix those trenches.  I wouldn't be mad if they went D line or O line in the first three picks. Unless someone drops that is the best player available in another position. Example the best LB that fits our scheme in the draft dropping to the second or third round. They need to emphasize they are committed to fixing the lines. To protect Cam and to rush the passer. 

[DeAngelo Beason]

We honestly screwed up SOOOO bad winning that last game.  The team has some pretty glaring holes and a top 10 pick could provide serious relief.  A mid first rounder can be hit or miss, although I will say Hurney has been great with his first rounders.

All that being said, I think we need to focus on the o-line.  The left tackle position can't continue to be a revolving door.  

[Shocker]

As your con states not very athletic, gotta think a better option will be there at 16

[Car123]

Yes.

[heel31ok]

It would depend on who is available but he is a nice player...

[ncfan]

Depends who is on the board 

 

Really warming up to the idea of Allen, but 16 may be just a little high.

[JARROD]

I wouldn’t be mad at all— if Hurney picks him at 16,.. he’s going to be good for us... and have immediate impact.

good analysis

Watching his video

And watching JJ Watts Wisconsin videos

 

Allen is a poor mans Watt.

I think he can be a stud, but nervous to be taking him anywhere above 25

Is it too early to start a thread about why we should trade back.  I love those
