13 years later, we get our guy. Loved watching him when he played for the Cal Bears and was pissed that we didn’t draft him. He was a bona fide 1st rounder till sidelined by a knee injury in the 2012 season. He wasn’t at full strength during his pro day and his 40 time suffered for it. He dropped to the 3rd round an the Chargers got themselves a star.

Of course he put up stellar numbers most of his career, with six 1,000+ yard seasons and 71 TDs.

Instead we got Vance McDonald in the 2nd round. 3rd round pick (after Allen) was washout Corey Lemonier. But whatevs. Great addition. He’s a great route runner and has great hands. Not as big as Mike Evans, but he is 6’2, 215 and wins 50/50 balls all the time.

Kinda wish we addressed the CB spot, but I like getting DeFo and Keenan. Hoping against hope we can healthy up a little more and have a game without a major injury this weekend.

The Cowboys are next, on the road, and while they look to be a mess, they would love nothing more than to throw a wrench into our playoff aspirations.
