I personally want Allen. I've watched him play and saw he can play both pass and run. When he get pushed past the QB on he doesn't let up and keeps going back after the QB. We need that.
TOP prospects in this Draft
1. Nick Bosa
Pros: Similar to his brother a technician with his hands & leverage/bend, probably not quite as strong, but a little bit faster
He would play the "LEO" position in our 4/3 defense, rushing hands in the dirt against the O-line left tackle
He's stout enough to play all 3 downs
He could be a 12+ sack player like Myles Garrett
Cons: In a 3/4 defense like what we played with Jim Harborough, he might not work
Bosa is about the same size as Aldon Smith, but Bosa wouldnt be good dropping back in coverage
Plus he usually rushes from a 3 point stance, hand in the dirt, not standing up like Aldon
And Bosa wouldn't be able to play Justin Smith's role, unless he gained like 30 pounds of muscle
2. Josh Allen
Pros: Dude has elite athleticism, elite speed, and elite first step
He's going to blow up the combine
He would be a probowler playing as a 3/4 Outside LB
He could rush from a standing position, like he does now, and is excellent dropping in coverage, and hes decent in the run game blowing up screens, etc
He just needs to work on more pass rush (inside) moves, other than just beating you with speed
He could be a 12+ sack player like Aldon Smith
Cons: In our 4/3 defense he would probably be a SAM LB like Bruce Irvin
Hes decent at playing the run, but honestly I don't think he would hold up all 3 downs on the D-line
I think he's only like 255 pounds?
In our defense he would be playing off the ball, playing the SAM, going against TE's on running downs
On obvious passing downs, take out the nose tackle, slide Soloman Thomas inside next to Buckner, then Josh Allen would be rushing from the D-end position
He could be good, maybe around 8-10, or so sacks a game in a 4/3 defense
Arizona is switching from a 4/3 defense, to a 3/4 defense this year
Both guys are pretty good so it might come down to who is the better fit for each system
