Just got off the phone with him...this guy is a class act, funny, articulate, just a great guy in general. Hope he performs VERY well on teh field.

The guy is a project..won't be ready to help us this year. And we need help NOW! But our O-line isn't a finished project either and I think the better value was Cannon at the time of the selection because Cannon could give us help/depth now.

But if they don't get CB help in free agency, the secondary will be open like a 7-11 store regardless of the Allen selection.

Gay is a bum and Mcfadden underachieved at best.

Cannon's currently undergoing chemotherapy for non-Hodgkins lymphoma. He wouldn't have given us either one of those things until the 2012-2013 season at best.

Him and Mike Wallace are friends from New Orleans , but even Mike said he's not been the same guy he knew. I think his confidence is shook up bad and that's not a good thing for a corner.
