Another late-rounder I like is Ricardo Allen from Purdue. A small corner at 5-9, 187, but plays bigger than that. Plays with hustle and ferocity, two things I love. I like to think he could sit for a year, then take over the slot.

The only good thing about Dontae Johnson is his size. He shouldn't consistently get beat like he did with the measured speed that he has - 4.45 in 40. It's like he just woke up from a nap when the ball is snapped. This guy's only worth a pick up as an undrafted free agent.
Ricardo Allen can play, but this is where size matters. And he may get beat a lot if he plays slot with the speedier wideouts because he's relatively slow - 4.61 in 40. It would be good value if he can get picked up in the 7th round - just for depth. If an opposing offense isolates him - him and the team are in trouble.
