Underhill: I still think there’s a Keenan Allen proposition post-draft depending on what happens in the draft (1 Viewer)

I like this route. Allows them to patch the position for the year and possibly pick up a less polished higher upside guy to develop in the meantime.

I agree with Nick. I still believe the created cap space is intentional and there is something coming. Either a draft day trade move for a high priced vet or a post draft free agent signing move so we save our fourth round comp pick.

Allen has a lot of mileage on his football cleats but he's still productive

I’m bout it just don’t want to overspend.

Are we that desperate for another WR?
He's solid guy but getting up there in years.

After last year, I'd take as many as possible.

I'm all for it if Moore thinks Allen has something to contribute to a team that doesn't figure to be very good in his first year as coach. As for draft prospects, I can understand where there's concerns with McMillan and things like lack of separation after the snap. Two other examples in the past 10 years of similarly sized guys who had size but not separation were Kelvin Benjamin and Sammy Watkins.

We need offensive playmakers. This WR draft class has WR2s but not any immediate high impact players. Secondary and OL needs depth more to where the 2nd round may not really make sense for WR either.

We can save a high pick to be used on getting a starter elsewhere. Make the WR unit deeper by potentially adding a 5x 100 catch receiver in Allen on a short term deal. With Olave and Sheed on the outside, Allen (and Cooks) could still produce high reception #s from the slot. Allen’s still a physical WR who can move the chains in intermediate routes at a high level.

Hard pass. He looks slow as heck now

If it’s just a 1 year deal, I’d be fine with it. He would fill the move the chains/possession receiver role that we have been missing the last few years.

So, throw another UDFA at it and hope he sticks? Call me crazy, but something is better than nothing.
