Hey, did you guys see this? http://sea.247sports.com/Bolt/Justin-Br ... --44437882
Allen seems to have dropped off the map. Not surprised since he was expected to test very average. March buzz revolves around combine gods and UFA signings. Allen just strikes me as a Bodine/Stork/Mason kind of player who someone takes in day three and 4 years later he's getting a decent second deal as a four year starter.
I'd say he's our plan D. Maybe. But a plan D I'd be pleased with. My fall backs for interior are Allen and Thuney in day three. Seem to be the kinds of late round picks that have that understated quality and modest athleticism. Just good productive players with a lot of fight in them.
The kinds of players you could abandon the pricier picks early in the draft and still adequately improve your team late. The kinds of players Seattle seems to never actually pick.
