Josh Allen, ILB/OLB, Kentucky Height: 6-5. Weight: 230. Projected 40 Time: 4.70. Projected Round (2018): 1-2. 10/21/17: Allen has been one of the leading defenders in sacks in the early going of the 2017 season. The junior is one of the nation's leaders with 6.5 sacks. He also has 35 tackles with 7.5 tackles for a loss, two forced fumbles and a pass batted. Allen produced well as a sophomore in 2016 with 62 tackles, 8.5 tackles for a loss, seven sacks and four forced fumbles. One national scout compared Allen to Leonard Floyd coming out of Georgia with Allen's ability to rush off the edge. That scout said Allen isn't as freaky of an athlete as Floyd was, and Allen is not a top-10 pick, but he did grade Allen as a first-rounder. Another director of college scouting said he gave Allen a high second-round grade, but thought Allen could definitely end up going in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. That director said Allen was an interesting player because he also can play inside linebacker, whereas Floyd was just an outside edge defender. That college director said as an inside linebacker, Allen has similarities to current Texans linebacker Zach Cunningham in terms of his height, speed, length, and athleticism in the middle. Nice looking prospect, definitely needs to bulk up more but seems to fly to the ball, nice rushing ability from the edge also..

It's a team game and yes Lawerence Taylor was all world. But Dan Audick handled him quite easy in "81. Any player that can beat an OLineman one on one consistently will be fine playing next to Buckner. I mean even Cassius had a banner sack year playing next to Buckner and he's probably not much better than NY85 in rushing the passer.

Bro I got like 36" arms

I got that beat. I got a 37 inch belly. Good luck going around all that flab.

He didn't mention strength, just power, and I think everyone misconstrues what power actually means.

I think the

4-3 with 3-4 personnel

is going to evolve into a straight 4-2-5 the way they keep liberalizing the game rules to favor the pass.

The fan base seems to be divided between Bosa and Williams at this point.

But Allen is still on my radar if no Bosa.
