Zach Allen at 29 would be a garbage pick. There are literally 20 players like him in this draft. He's fine. He's a solid prospect.

And so are a dozen other guys that will be available in the 2nd or 3rd.

He'd be the reachiest of reachy need picks and an AWFUL decision.

"But muh defense!!!!"

I tend to agree here. Allen is not a 1st rd caliber player and anyone who takes him there will be reaching.

We’re in that soft spot of the draft where the 1st rd caliber players are few and far between, so I expect Veach to move up for a difference maker rather than sit and settle.
