We asked 4 of the best NFL Draft sites on the web their take on the Allen impact and the Draft. Here are the responses.

Interesting. Especially Walter's take on the situation. I hope he's right about Allen's picks.

pauljunior · 12-28-2009, 05:45 PM

I like Walter's opinion.

LandrySlice · 12-28-2009, 06:04 PM

Interesting opinions, I just don't know why we have to get a QB at pick 5? From what I have read, a lot of good qb's will be available in the last 1st or early 2nd round

Well at pick 5 we would probably have our option of the top QB on the board. After Okung there really isn't a OL prospect worthy of a top 5 selection. We could take Clausen/Bradford at 5 and then draft someone like Ciron Black in the second.

There is some question whether he can play LT in the NFL, but if nothing else he would be one hell of a RT. I like him.

Anything will help and if that anything puts Heyer on the bench then it's a pick well spent.

I agree with the last two comments in the drafting with redskins column

SmootSmack · 12-28-2009, 06:08 PM

I disagree with the notion that we haven't made any notable picks in the 2nd round or beyond in the past decade.

I agree- Smoot, Betts, Mcintosh, Thomas, Davis, and Kelly have all been selected in the second round since 2001. Imagine if we would of had the Portis and Jason Taylor picks that were shipped away in trades.

Not to mention Chris Horton, Kedric Golston, Chris Cooley...

On another note, I don't think drafting a QB (Bradford) in the first round means Shanahan has no input. Shanahan may be smart enough to know we need to improve the offensive line. But he's also smart enough to know we need a franchise QB (and Campbell isn't showing he's that guy). He's smart enough to know not to reach for an OT, and we will if we draft an OT in the first round that isn't Okung. And he's smart enough to know we can address the OL in other ways beyond the first pick

Keep in mind his teams also do a good job of developing small athletic lineman that other teams tend to overlook due to their lack of size. The downside to that though might be that from the perspective of our fans we'd be adding a group of Casey Rabach clones.

Walter's opinion is fine with the exception of bringing back the entire coaching staff, I seriously doubt that's going to happen.

THAT did it for me
bring back the entire coaching staff? insufferable....stupery

Allen (and Shanahan) supposedly will have control over the draft meaning Snyder is out of the picture. That alone should be a good thing, we'll see.
