I'd love to be wrong though, I could easily see him falling within range of a small trade up to around 25.
He's still my favourite edge after Bosa, but Allen's potential is starting to intrigue me.
Reportly 49ers are looking for SPEED rushers.
In terms of where I think players will be drafted. I want Polite waaaaay more in a trade down then Allen at 2. Who else would be considered a speed rusher?
In FA maybe Ansah, Barrett, Ford?
I don't believe any reports of what a team wants pre draft, there are too many smokescreens.
I agree that I'd prefer Polite after a trade (though would prefer a trade up from #34) more than Allen at #2, though Allen has a lot more upside and versatility.
I still think he ends up going later than projected, who was the last edge 6"2 or under who went in the 1st round?
