I've been really warming up to Allen here of late. I'm usually not a big fan of off the ball LBs in the 1st but if we could get another impact LB who doubles as the QB of the defense... I mean that sounds very tempting.

 

My only gripe with Allen is I just don’t think he will be BPA #19. If Dan and co. do select him there I wouldn’t hate it but I will question if someone of Allen’s profile can be found in day 2.

As a pure player, honestly I agree. But doubling as that QB of the defense on the field might push him over the top and make it worth it over say a Hill or Golday in the 2nd, especially if we don't think one of those guys will he there at #51 which I think is very possible.

A friend of mine who follows SEC football says he thinks Allen was a just a good LB on a great defense but as you said if his interview process goes well and he is found to have the intangibles you mentioned then you get him day 1.

If his on the field QBing of the defense helped it be a great defense, sign me up. We'd all love another Luke but I'd settle for a lesser version. And if this kid has that type of football mind, what better mentor could you ask for than Luke Kuechly. Even if he's not that type of impact after the snap I'd just love to have that defensive QB again, especially one being mentored by Luke.

WHAT IM HEARING AT THE COMBINE - DAY 2:

* Ty Simpson is the runaway QB2, and might go as high as the mid-first round.
* A second school of thought has emerged: Caleb Downs could be

Ty Simpson's stock rising would greatly benefit the #Panthers

1) If he goes ahead of Carolina, a player they want has a better chance of falling to them

2) Teams might be interested in trading for their 19th overall pick

Caleb downs could be what?

 

And someone craving Simpson and him on the board at 19 is the exact scenario I have been praying for.  Get another 2nd and a first for next year.

The Simpson hype is just something I can't wrap my head around. I can't see drafting a guy in the 1st whose absolute ceiling looks to be Kirk Cousins.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.
