"Let me preface the whole 40-yard conversation with this," Mayock told NFL Network's "Path to the Draft."

"Three months ago, I said -- if you watch this kid on tape -- if you like him, he's Anquan Boldin. If you don't like him, he's speed-deficient. So I don't really care what he runs in the 40. On tape, to me, he's a 4.55 guy all day long."

Mayock called Allen's 40 results "not a good time," but scouts and coaches told him they expect Allen to be faster down the road. What he gives you, according to Mayock, is "a big, powerful, wide receiver" who might go anywhere from No. 25 to No. 45 in the 2013 NFL Draft.

"I believe in his toughness and his hands," Mayock said, confirming that he would, indeed, "bang the table" for Allen (and in Mayock's universe, that's a compliment of the highest order).

that 40 time is going to be a concern, but only a minor one taken with a grain of salt because most who were there employed by teams are going to understand that he's still not at 100% but they all know he'll be faster when it matters and I'm sure they saw in that workout what really matters, which was his ability to catch and run routes and make the cuts he needs to.

teams looking for a burner won't like him, but that was never him anyway. teams just looking for an incredibly reliable and well-rounded and polished receiver who can do it all and do it all well will continue to like him.

I would take Allen at 14 all day and his 40 time does not scare me a bit as its 2 tents of a second from making everyone bust a nut over him.

The dude has been rehabbing not practicing a 40 time to impress Carolina huddle posters.

Did someone really just compare him to Dwayne Jarrett, wtf?

I'm not sure if it was in this thread or another but those of you knocking hill Keenans hands and then praising the hands of Hopkins have not watched anything other than highlights.

I like Hopkins but of all the top WR's being discussed he has more drops than any of them and that's a fact not an opinion.

LOL

Dude, you're biased as hell. I'm admittedly biased toward Hopkins - he's the guy I want. But to act like what you've stated is factual while dismissing anything to the contrary doesn't make you seem very intelligent. Your opinion does not equal fact. Other than black and white measurements, workout numbers and stats, there are no facts in scouting. It's all opinion.

Boyd ain't gonna be a 1st rounder.

Boyd is very much in play in the first round, could have came out this year. do your research sir.

I don't think he's quite that sort of player. Boldin is more compact and strong, Allen is tall and relatively thin.

I was talking about the way they both utilize their route running to create enough separation to make plays.

Keenan Allen timed at 4.71, still recovering from an injury hurting his explosiveness...he is dead to me.

Tavon, Hopkins, Justin Hunter n Patterson are better and offer more to the table.

Keenan Allen just does nothing special and Robert Woods is the same. Just played at colleges with hot chicks with good weather.

Compared to Anquan Boldin-if you like him.

How can you say he is nothing special, then compare him to Anquan Boldin?

Mayock said if you like him..he is Anquan Boldin. A slow tough guy.. but he is nursing an injury that is still hindering him 2+ months.

I see just another Lafell..and not much difference between them. Allen a more polished catcher.

Why have 2 Lafells when you can get others in this draft. Hopkins is faster with a similar catch radius.

You go Hunter-Patterson if you want the catch radius n want the size speed rawness.

40 times confirm what you see on film..Tavon Austin looked ligtning quick and ran 4.3(proven and confirmed game and timed speed)

Dewayne Jarrett ran a 4.7 and played like a 4.5 guy at USC(as we know too well) Exact words about Keenan Allen. Not a great trend IMO. All about gaining seperation in the NFL..cant jump over college kids.

It all goes hand in hand. Bolden uses his size and strength to create separation Allen, with his lack of speed will have to find unique ways to create separation in the nfl. He won't be playing against pac 12 competition anymore
