Philly is going to turn Josh Sweat into Danielle Hunter 2.0. 

Josh Sweat is a workout warrior. His play has always been mediocre.

Anyone know why Bo Scarbrough is falling?

Bad football player. No production at Alabama.

This is where the Bengals draft grade shines, by taking these type of falling talent...

Who says they were falling ?  Maybe the NFL had a different grade on them than you?

Wanted Settle instead but meh...

Brown is the better player. He's not fat and remains on his feet.

Terrible pick. Allen is really short and has 8 inch hands. Could have had Quessenberry.

Quessenberry was higher on my board because of his versatility and length to play G, but Allen's a bulldog, who fits really well for a power scheme.   LAR incorporated a lot more power last year than just a pure ZBS.    Quessenberry is a far better fit on a team that does exclusive ZBS, and LAR clearly still uses ZBS too, so I see the argument - terrible's a bridge too far, IMO.   

I do think Big10 guys overperform on their rankings, FWIW. 3-year starter and 2nd team all-conference tells me this is likely one of those cases.   FWIW, Allen's hands aren't quite that small at 9 1/4.  At 6'1, 298, 32' arms, he's the classic C-only guy with his fire hydrant build, and his play bears that out a power fit.    Quessenberry has the length and quickness for G or C, and that's really valuable - but his power is very limited.     So I see why LAR went in a different direction, TBH.  

Do love the value with Quessenberry, though, no argument there.
