1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

I remember us doing a thread on each individual pick a few years back. I was thinking we could do it again this year. As picks come in feel free to start a thread on the player.

With that said WELCOME JOHNATHAN ALLEN to the WASHINGTON REDSKINS!!

And Casserly reaction on twitter:

Biggest steal of #NFLDraft Jonathan Allen #Redskins Better coming out of college than Ndamukong Suh & I like him better than Solomon Thomas

From the Chris "the Mouth" Cooley twitter:

The @Redskins just got insane value at 17 Allens injury issues are overrated. This is the best case scenario. Really! I'm pumped

Probably the best pick of the draft in terms of value. James Andrew has cleared Allen of injury concerns.

Sorry, go ahead and kill my duplicate thread

We just got arguably the best player in the draft.

re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

17) Washington Redskins: DT Jonathan Allen, Alabama – Allen is the best true interior talent in the draft, and he fell for long-term concerns over his potentially arthritic shoulders. But even on a loaded Bama D, he stood out as a disruptor who has a little Geno Atkins in him. In a 3-4 scheme he’ll be asked to hold the point more, but you can’t hold Allen back. He’s smart, strong, instinctive and will be an asset to a defense that could use a little more juice up front. [B]Grade: A[/B]

This quote from the Liz Clarke's WP article says it all,
"A draft class loaded with defensive talent instead saw a run on offensive players, with two quarterbacks and three wide receivers chosen among the top 10.
The upshot proved a blessing for the Washington Redskins, who badly needed to shore up their defense and headed into the proceedings with a wish list designed to do just that."
To our benefit, those teams reached for offensive players.

I was messaging Daseal last night and we were both nervous as fuck when he kept slipping. We were like, "Aw shit, ____team____ is gonna' take him." When he fell to us, I'm like DO NOT FUCK THIS UP. TURN IN THE CARD AND DON'T BE TOO CUTE.

re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

Being able to land Jonathan Allen has to be best thing that could happen in this draft.

Allen is it freaking animal. For those that have them watched his draft cut-ups you are in for a treat.

The d-line just got a lot better in both run defense and pass defense. Now if we could land the true NT and a pass-rusher we will have a competitive front 7.

re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

We got a stud who fills a huge need. I felt like lighting up a cigar after that pick.

re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

Wow.......
Did you see what happened here?
We drafted a position in the first round that most fans wanted......
Amazing....
Oh, and Allen's hometown is Leesburg VA.
Thats where I grew up.
Win!

I am so freakin' excited about this pick! I cannot wait to see this guy in burgundy and gold! Also going to make Ryan Kerrigan look unstoppable as well.

re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

crazy when BPA is also biggest need, and like the draft stud.

Do you think he'll play defensive end beside Kerrigan or be a pass rusher on the other side of the line?

re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

Great Pick. I was stunned that there was such a run on offensive players in the first round that made Allen fall. Saw lots of mocks that had this guy as a top 10 talent.

I friggin hate that you guys got him. ;)

re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

Since Scott M. left Bruce has really just been f--king up this off season. =)

re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

I'm not putting Bruce on my bff list just yet. The J Allen pick was truly a no-brainer.

But a great pick it is in every way. We're gonna love this guy.

The biggest decision is still looming...until that is final, I'm waiting to give credit.

Thanks Sandtrap!

Eat your heart out.

re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

I said it in another thread but i'll say it again here;

The most exciting thing (which I can't believe i'm saying about the Redskins) is the coaching he's going to have around him.

Having Tomsula coach him up against Callahan's Offensive Line should help him develop nicely.

Also, going against T. Williams and B. Scherff should give him a good idea of how NFL Tackles and Guards will play him.

oVERALL WE HAVE HAD A GREAT O/S.. OTHER THAN KIRK, WHICH LAST NIGHT PROVED TO ME THAT HE IS THE GUY, THE SKINS HAVE BEEN ROCK SOLID.

I'd bet on him moving around to take advantage of matchups. Possible nose at times too. A bit undersized for the position in a 3-4, he has a good eye for what the runner is doing beyond the man blocking him.

Re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

2 big things standout with Allen...

1.he plays up and down the dline. He doesn't need to be locked to one side. He's left right and middle. I really hope we continue using him to give different looks.
2. He has amazing awareness and control after the snap. You never see him blindly rushing or playing his man. Always tracking the ball. Highly intelligent

Re: 1st rd pick Jonathan Allen
 

And in interviews, seems like a good dude and happy to be coming home. Love this pick. Love it.
