Zach Allen is going to be a good player barring injury.
2019 3rd round pick is Zach Allen DE

Zach Allen was our Mason Cole of this draft. Not a flashy, but is going to fill a need and probably hang around the league for 10 years.

He kinda reminds me of Markus Golden. Why did we let Golden walk?

I'm really liking this draft. It's a shame there was such controversy about the number 1 pick.

most of them were Rosen fans, they disappeared just couple of days after the draft

There are a lot of Rosen fans still around which is fine by me. I can see both sides of the coin.

Where does this comparison keep coming from? He has like 2 inches and 25 lbs on Golden and projects to the line and not OLB. Allen is stronger but not as quick as Golden.

I dont get it. They are very different players.
Both are more effort guys, yes, but their build and ideal NFL positions are different.

Got it - We're mixing up our SLB with one of our DEs, no?

Allen is probably going to gain weight and be around 290+ in a year or two.
I'm excited about getting him.

Me too!
The comp when I watch Allen play is (and don’t laugh)... A slightly less athletic JJ Watt
Just look at the college stats!

I'm not laughing, that's a decent comp.

golden doesnt and didn't have any quickness

You don't get double digit sacks with out "any quickness", that's just nonsense.
Golden timed better at the combine than Allen, Allen put up more on the bench...hence my statement.

Because you pay Golden to sack the QB. And outside of one season, he's put up below average sack numbers.
Terrell Suggs was Golden's replacement. Hall of Famer vs. guy who might be out of the league in a year or two.

Different players really. It's like comparing Murray and Rosen.

I think the comparison is position, slightly less athletic than top players at the position, high motor.

Allen looks like natural fit at the 5 tech not outside...

Yep...probably not even as close as that comparison is as they play different positons, it'd be like comparing Jordan Hicks to Chandler Jones.

But it isn't even the same position.

most of golden sacks were coverage sacks or cause they doubled Jones
10 yards split and in the 3 cone drill Allen was better then Golden

They should be drafting off PFF boards
They grade every play
They’re a lot more right than they are wrong
