I'm not really a fan of Keenan Allen. I think he may struggle to get separation at the next level and I'm not sure he'll be much of a play maker. I wouldn't consider him with the 12th pick. In fact, I'd prefer Bailey or Austin in the 2nd as well, probably Patton too. I'm not sold on Eiffert, but I do think a seam threat TE would add more to our offense than a deep threat WR in general and far more than Allen would.
From an athletic standpoint, there is absolutely no reason that Keenan shouldn't create separation in the NFL. His issue is that he tips off his routes some, and that is what will hamper his ability to gain separation at the NFL level. That is also something that can be coached up. IMO, you can't coach up this guys ability to make cuts at full speed and his footwork. Is he a target at 12? I'm not sure yet. Here is an article that Matt Waldman did a while back that discusses Keenan's ability to create separation with his hands. I like Matt's write ups because he focuses on the technical aspects of playing the position and not just the athleticism of the player. http://mattwaldmanrsp.com/2012/04/03/cal-wr-keenan-allen-creating-separation-with-his-hands/ Alen also does a great job of breaking Keenan Allen down in this article: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...n-the-2013-nfl-draft-prospects-game-and-stock In this report, Alen calls him a late 1st to early 2nd round prospect.
That article could have been better, but it's tough writing with handcuffs. I'll write about him again at Rotoworld or The Sideline View (more likely latter as I'll be working with Lance Zierlein and STATS LLC) eventually.
it blows my mind how some of these draft sites or major sports sites don´t include the height, size and DOB of a player
