Blocking and receiving is not something he was asked to do a whole lot of at Wisconsin, so while scouts will grade him negatively on both, give him time and coaching.  While he doesn't have top end speed, neither does Aaron Jones or a lot of successful RB's in the NFL.  Honestly, I will trade top end speed for a guy that can punish defenders and pickup those extra yards after contact.My guess is this.  Allen is going to go through the interview process and turn a lot of heads.  As will he do at the combine.  GM's will look at the success that a guy like Jonathan Taylor has had in Indy and it might push Allen up into the 2nd round.Some nice info and an interview with him, in this article:[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/wisconsin-badgers-running-back-braelon-allen-discusses-recruiting-development-more[/URL]</blockquote>
