All I was saying was...if Jared Allen was a rookie this year and Bill Parcells got the tape from his first four seasons in KC and knew exactly how Allen would turn out...he'd take him at #1 in a second...do you disagree?

I absolutely disagree.
Just because he was the best player on a shitty defense in 2006 doesn't give him a pass, IMO.
Elite DE's better rack up 12+ sacks a year to be worth this kind of money.
He wasn't even the sack leader on his own team in 2006, and was beat by a rookie.
Add his off the field issues, and there's no way Parcells touches him at #1.
