[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1028834, member: 7261"] Same critics that said Jonathan Taylor would never make it in the NFL. I can't remember who it was, but there were a few posters here that I duked it out with over Taylor. He's turned out to be a pretty good NFL back. Their argument was "Wisconsin always has a great OL and Taylor will turn out like most of the other Badger RB's (Moss and Dayne)." I think fumbling and pass catching was also a knock on JT. I do think Allen is the real deal. The Badger OL was a mess this year, as was the entire offense, yet he played a lot of the year hurt and still was a beast. He also only really played 7 complete games and still had 984 yds on 181 carries (5.4 yds/carry) and 12 TD's. He just turned 20 fricking years old in January and is still learning a position that he wasn't even recruited to play. Badgers recruited him as a LB! So yeah, the upside on this guy is incredible, IMO. He also isn't a big headed kid, that thinks he is the BMOC, he works incredibly hard, is smart (listen to his interviews) and a team guy. See video below. Do I think the Packers will or should select him at 58? I don't think they will, but I wouldn't be mad if they did. Heck, Dillon was taken at 62. The RB class is pretty deep, so that might keep him on the board longer than 88. If he is still there at 88 and Gute passes on him, I will be mad, but understand the whole need thing. A starting RB isn't what the Packers need in 2024, but they might need one soon. Allen is going to be better than Dillon and the 1-2 punch of Braelon and Jones could go a long way.
