Re: Draft / FA / Offseason Roster Moves (Merged)
We have been in total agreement about Allen this whole time. I REALLY am not understanding what people are seeing in him. I'm glad someone as proficient as you seems to see the same things I see. Based on the tape I've watched I see basically a small TE with very average speed and explosion out of his breaks, who does little to separate or really make much happen after the catch.
You turn on his game film and all you see is 5 yard curls, 8 yard ins, a few screens, etc... I am just not seeing a guy worthy of a top-20 pick, much less a first rounder at all. If a guy isn't very explosive and isn't very technically proficient what in the world are you getting from him? It's like everyone in the scouting community got together and decided that they were going to pimp Keenan Allen to anybody who would listen. I don't get it.

Re: Draft / FA / Offseason Roster Moves (Merged)
At worst they don't sign him.
It's so hard to know because he was such a head case. This is a guy who put a whole offense on his back in college against dominant defenses. He didn't have a runningback who he could count on. He didn't have a typical great LSU offensive line. It was just him and a couple of very good receivers making clutch plays.
Then he gets draft 1st overall and all that fire goes right out. Can he get it back again? Honestly I don't think so. Supposedly he's near 300 pounds down from 320 in the fall. He was 260 when he was drafted. If he was serious he'd be near that drafted weight. He's desperate but that doesn't mean he's motivated by the right things to play in the NFL.

The one time he had a semi-competent QB in Palmer he put up 64 receptions and 975 receiving yards. To put it in perspective, Torrey Smith hasn't surpassed either of those numbers. Palmer falls apart this year and his numbers go down again.
He was always over-drafted at 8th overall, no question about it. But with a real QB, drafted late first, early second? He'd be a much better player. He can still contribute, he's only 25.
