He looks like he has good hands, but is not particularly fast, nor is he the most effective deep threat. I only watched two of the above videos, but it looks like he was primarily used as a short yardage guy.

I think I would rather have Austin if I am getting a WR that is most effective in underneath stuff and not a great deep threat.

keenan "underneath" allen

thats his new name after watching his videos. needs to work on balance and hold the ball better to prevent fumbles. also sometimes jump for no reason to catch easy passes. not much of a deep threat and really doesnt make alot of open field plays, or make other guys miss.

could be decent in the nfl, but just does not look like the "clear cut number 1 superstar wideout" that hes made out to be, when i watch him on tape.

Allen isnt made out to be a clear cut superstar wideout. if he was he would be projected as a top 5 pick.

umm earlier in this season he was....patterson just started getting love.

i just cannot see how you not like this guys ability. caught so many bad balls, and made plays.

[BigSyke]

^^lol i like him its just that i thought he would be a different guy when i heard about him being the best wr from several scouts.

ummm, i thought i would be seeing an aj green type of guy. i seen most his snaps come from the slot not on the outside too....

i know his qb is bad but patton does not have a top rated qb either and he still went deep more than keenan allen and made just as many open field plays.

in august/september patton avg 16.4 yards per catch.......in that same period allen only avg 11.2....matter of fact in no period during the year did he avg more than 12 yards per catch.

so i can understand why some call him a possession receiver.

personally i would not take any wr in this draft at 14.

25th and down in the 1st round would be the time to target a wr to me.

[panther4life]

Yards per catch are highly reflective of the routes run.

[BigSyke]

^ of course and the panthers need someone who can run deep routes.........allen does not fit that BASED ON HIS STATS.

patton also goes over the middle plenty of times.

hey im not knocking slots.....chris carter was great.

dck since you say keenan allen compares to dez bryant and jordy nelson ill check how his stats compare against those guys while in college..........

he can run deep routes, but just wasnt asked to a lot at Cal.and when he did the throw was not accurate enough for him to catch the ball. they wanted him to have the ball in his hands asap.

[BigSyke]

okay, still the bad qb excuse...but okay...ill rest that.

so now on the comparison to nelson and bryant. they had better avg per catch stats. nelson had 14.9 while bryant had about a 17.0 avg.

on tape both of those guys played faster(game speed) than allen and dez jumped for balls ways more...but they were deep balls.

really cant say much else since you keep saying his play was limited from his qb. he does however lhave the same body type as bryant though....

also i dont know his measureables since he didnt participate in the combine, so i cant compare that either.

like i said im not saying hes gonna be a bust, he just does not excite me. patterson is exciting but he needs a lot of coaching.

one thing i do like about allen is that he is a sure handed receiver and out of all his tape i like the one against stanford the most.lol

Hey dck have you heard anything about his pcl injury? Dont wanna draft a guy that ends up hurt all the time. Just wanna know how serious it is.....

I've gotta back DCK up. Cals QB was awful last year. The only reason he was even on scholarship was because it was the only way to get Allen to Berkeley. Not saying I think Allen is going to be a star because there are flaws in his game, but Maynard (his half brother) really didn't help him out at all....
