Josh Allen OLB/ILB/DE Kentucky | Page 270

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..

He's all over the place. Jags gonna have fun with him. Although this dude was just wincing in pain holding his arm that has a cast. He really shouldn't be out there.

He "beat" a TE (which he should) and his other splash play (that I saw) he beat a RT that has no business starting in the NFL. Jesse Davis? who da fook is that lol?

Honestly this is more eye opening for the Phins OL, I knew they were bad, but it might be the worst OL in football. Poor Rosen goes from AZ to this s**t lol.

I can come to terms with us not picking him (barely). I can't fathom how he didn't go top 4 though.

You're looking too far into it. It's a great next step. You wanna see that they're(Guys like Allen, Burns, Bosa) beating players in college, then players who are fighting for roster spots. Next step holding their own vs starters, with a few splash plays here and there, then hopefully dominating before long.

Same reason we should be excited for Deebos run last week even though that damn sure wasn't against starters

He played well but why are we acting like he was Khalil Mack out there?

That Dolphins OL is a joke. I saw him getting pushed aside during running plays. He made the plays that he should and looked good due to his speed which everyone agreed is his bread and butter.

End of the day he had 4 tackles. If Nick Bosa has a similar game I can only imagine the outrage.

Good points.

We can only judge him against what is out there to compete against. In this case, he absolutely destroyed the Miami offense. So, while that offense is not very good on a pro level, it is better than any offense he faced in college.

I have no problem with Lynch not drafting him. Bosa will be an impact player in this league. I am just saying that the arrow on Allen is pointing straight up. duh
