Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 719801">Allison is on the slow side and awfully skinny which makes him neither a perimeter threat nor a possession-type receiver. I don't see him as much of a blocker in the run game and he has no special teams utility.  He looks to have good hands but I don't think he's graduated from Route Running 101.  He's a fill-out-the-roster guy getting paid the minimum. Even if he retains his position as the #4 WR, it is hard to see how he'll see many balls thrown his way.In 4-wide/single back or 4-wide/empty backfield sets there are combinations among the top 3 WRs, the 3 TEs and Montgomery out of the slot that will keep his snaps to a bare minimum.Last season he rose to the #4 WR by default, Janis being Janis and Davis in the dog house for whatever reason.Where he would get his snaps would be an injury to Nelson or Adams.  For whatever reason, the Packers have been reluctant to flex Cobb to the perimeter when the injury bug hits.I see the Packers looking to upgrade the #3 wideout position behind Nelson and Adams in the draft, particularly with Adams being a free agent after this season.  I'd hardly be shocked if such a player is taken among the top 3 picks.  The "just outscore 'em" approach to defense building looks to be still in place, and the World According to Rodgers is wideout-centric.An upgrade to Allison should be in the cards.</blockquote>
