Absolutely not. If Allen is clearly the best player available after Garnett is taken, we should trade down with a team that wants Allen. Probably won't get a ton in return, but it's better than drafting a player you don't need at all (3-4 DE) or taking a player you could have had 2-3 picks later for less money along with getting the extra pick.
Do you think Armstead prevents us from taking an elite talent like Allen? The logic wouldn't be good because of where we foolishly took Armstead two years ago but Allen is BY FAR a better player than AA and it isn't close. I would have zero issues taking Allen and running out Allen, NT (Hopefully Poe or Brandon Williams), and Buckner with AA the first off the bench if Garrett is gone. We need run stopping and pass rushing help on defense in the worst way imaginable and both Allen and Garrett provide that.
