Allen is the superior prospect. It's that simple.
Rodriguez was gone. Allen was there. We reached... He might not have been there with our third round pick but it's still a reach.
I’m pretty sure they watched more tape of both Trotter and Allen than you did. In their eyes, with the innumerable hours of study from the front office and coaches, Trotter fit their vision for the Mike backer and a tone setter on D better than Allen. They viewed him as worthy of a 2nd rounder. So, you think that your opinion on the player based on research that pales in comparison to theirs both in volume and depth, is more valid than theirs. Laughable.
So, no, it’s not actually that simple that "Allen is the superior prospect.” It’s just an opinion based on reading some shyte on the internet.
