He will play in the nickel and from that clip on the link, looks to be a lot like Winfield. Not that fast, not great hands, but can cover you and tackles like a truck.
I like.

I was hoping for DJ Moore too

Can't say I know too much about Allen but we shall see

Agreed DJ Moore would have been a better pick but this is who I had us picking because I didnt think he would have been there

I wonder why Moore is dropping? Anyways still pumped we went CB.
;D

Why not DJ?
Wonder what the reasoning is?

**gamecocksbaseball31** · 04-26-2009, 10:36 AM

Same here, would rather have had DJ Moore but what can you do.
Allen gives us a return threat as well as a solid tackler.
Reminds me a lot of Winfield plus like I said gives us a return man.
Not terrible.

Commercial during the pick, site disappears and why is Rich Eisen playing with his f'n phone missing the Vikes pick

Im a Georgia fan, i like this kid.. Dont expect him to be a starter, but seems like a good fit for the nickle/dime back..

speed is not lightning fast, around 4.6

Has returned kicks and done well

I expected him go late 3rd early 4th round, so this seems an ok pick..
