If they took him I wouldn't be upset, but one thing this regime seems to be able to do is find defensive talent later in the draft. If there is an under the radar CB who fits their scheme (Taron Johnson), then spend the pick on O-line.
I really hope Allen evolves like Wilson has. Run if you must, but extending plays with your feet and throwing it for 5 yards is ok too. Josh has got to take less hits next year.
He is my guy. I can't wait to see what he does when/if these things happen:
1. We get him protection and weapons.
2. The game slows down for him a little and he sees things he isn't right now. There have been several times where a 10 yard run could have been a 10 yard pass but he didn't check it down.
3. He doesn't feel the need to hit a home run on every play. Sometimes a sure 6 yards is a good thing.
4. He develops a little more touch.
5. He has a full offseason to review his game tape for this year.
Year 2 will obviously be big for him. I do not believe he's a finished product and we will see strides towards him becoming something special. He has a lot of what you can not teach.
I'm not sure if this is the specific strategy they've taken with him or not, but he sure as heck doesn't throw to the check down, almost ever.
It is certainly a contributing factor to his completion % and it's damn fun to watch.
