Thought to be a possible first-rounder, this news will push him down into the second round. Apr. 11 - 8:27 pm etSource: ESPN.com InsiderWord is it is pretty bad, he will be very fragile. I think he could fall completely out of the first day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cincy9275 Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 i think this will keep any teams from drafting him maybe 6th or 7th round. i think he would be lucky to get picked at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesperateDerelict Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 That is really too bad . . . he was potentially one of the best out of a very strong db draft class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GROIIIDayton Posted April 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 I feel really bad for the guy. Not that I wanted an NFL team to get screwed but I wish he would have got paid first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalPappaw Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 For what its worth -- I'd waste a fourth round pick on Jason Allen. Thats the pick we usual reserve for a developmental project.Even if he only plays a year or two, I'd like him in Bengals stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 Man that does suck. He was flying up the boards after the combine. I wouldn't want the Bengals to draft him with this news in mind, but I still hope he can get picked up somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmyBengal Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Got to hate it for the kid !!! Maybe someone still takes a chance on him and gives him time to see if it comes around, but if it's a degenerative thing, I say stick a fork in him... To bad indeed...WHODEY !!!

ShulaSteakhouse Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 Feel sorry for him, but now maybe people will finally quit touting him as a possibility for the Bengals on day one.He's toast, move on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schweinhart Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 Not good news for Allen, but probably not entirely unexpected either that he would not pass a physical yet. If he's really got a degenerative condition, though, then the 1st round draft party is over. Based on what Allen has done and the comparisons of the injury as less serious than others that ended careers, I'm guessing it's not a career killer nor bad enough to keep him out of Day 1.One of the teams that failed him was the Vikings at 17. I wouldn't be too surprised if a team lower in the draft order ends up finding him physically fit before it's all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
