I have some doubts about these players, Chico.
I'd take Allen in a heartbeat but I think you're hope that he'll be available at #17 is not realistic. He's a Top Five prospect all day long. Being picked in the Top 10 is worst case for him.
Reuben Foster has the most entertaining highlight tapes going. I love the way he plays football. But he's coming off of rotator cuff surgery and I'm concerned that with his smallish size and the violent way he plays that other injuries may be expected. That's why I would draft Haason Reddick ahead of him.
McCaffery could be a near-perfect fit for our offense, if used properly. He's also terrific on ST. I have no problem with him at #17 but he plays offense rather than defense and he's not a bell-cow RB.
Cook has a fumbling problem and he's a POS woman beater. I don't want him, period.
There are other players I'd draft at #17: Haason Reddick, Malik McDowell, Chris Wormley, Tre'Davious White, Jabril Peppers and a few others who would need to fall in the draft.
