Why Brandon Allen is the best QB in the draft not named Wentz or Goff

Cue the little hands remarks in 3...2...1

Enjoyed watching his shootouts though. He was a beast vs tough teams

Had a good year, great completion percentage (WZ's favorite measurable). If he were bigger I think he'd get more attention, but that's something a lot of teams don't want to waver on.

Edit: Noticed you had him at 6'3". NFL listed him at 6'1" with 8 7/8" hands. That doesn't help his case. He can play from under center though and he has some mobility. We'll see where he falls, but I'm guessing in the late rounds or possibly UDFA.

Late round pick that's about it

Listen, the kid once had his truck set on fire by rabid Arkansas fans. He had an early injury to his shoulder in his first couple of years. But, he is a grinder. He keeps working, keeps getting better. 3 years ago, I would have said, "pass". Today, I tell you to take a late round chance on him. Hell, he went to a hand specialist to make his hand bigger! Grab Goff or whoever early, get BA late. You won't regret it.

I expect him to be there when it's time to make our 5th round comp selection

I am no draft expert, but I really like taking a flyer on this guy. So, I would think no later than sixth if there.

Well we don't have anything later than the sixth

Allen gets my vote and not just because I'm a Razorback fan. He is definitely going to make some NFL team very happy............

Don't be surprised if the Cowboys don't take him sometime during the Draft. Jerry Jones is a former Razorback and keeps his eye on players coming out of Arkansas.
Good release and solid accuracy but most of those highlights were just basic completions for 10 yards

This is true. Also for full disclosure, I graduated from the U back in 2009. GO HOGS, GO!
He's underrated going into this draft. Don't think he profiles as a starter, but a good backup. More like 6'1" than 6'3" too.
