the only issue with this pick is that it doesn't upgrade our 32nd ranked OL.

Getting our own line back will help with that.

We actually had a starting O Line late last season that read:

Korey Cunningham, Jeremy Vujnovich, Mason Cole, Oday Aboushi, Will Holden.

It may strike those in the know, that NONE of these people were our starters. (And several weren't our second stringers)

This is by far the WOAT pick of the draft.

Guy has zero athleticism and potential.

That's a stupid take. Before the combine some evaluators saw 1st round potential in him. He didn't test well in shorts, but watching his tape he passes the eye test. Uses his long hands very well and moves very fluid for his size. There is no way he doesn't improve our run defense at least.

He will come great for us! Overlooked due to his 5 second 40 yard time. Before the combine, he was considered a potential late 1st rounder in this stacked DL class. His 10 yard split was exceptional though for his size, and that's all he needs in the trenches. He is so strong and uses his arms well - which is often a concern with talented rookie DL. 100 tackles in a season is crazy. He will be a stout contributor for years.

Yeah only two defensive line in the history of college football have had 100 tackle seasons and Allen is one of them.

With Nkemdiche, Peters, Philon, and Gunter, the Cardinals still needed another DL pretty badly. This kid is a great 5 tech prospect as a rotational lineman. Extremely high motor, will help this team.

Long hands? Is that actually a thing now? What's next?

Being a Syracuse/ACC fan, I was able to watch this kid play often enough. Tremendous motor & always seemed to be around the ball. He's a kid that almost everyone overlooked, but always made his presence felt. This was a solid pick. At BC he almost never came off the field, and yet he never took a play off. I think he'll be a solid contributor for years to come.

Several Seahawks fans wanted him and were pissed we got him.

Last few players that had this impact on them:

John Brown
David Johnson
Buddha Baker

So Zach Allen is going to be a Pro Bowl player.
