Back into the trenches with this pick. Allen is a squatty brute of a center who is unafraid of anyone lining up across from him. He couples that mean streak and attitude with powerful hands and leg drive to open up lanes for his running backs.

He has athletic and size limitations but as a center with the power and coordination he possesses it’s not hard to see why he’ll stick. Plus, the Bears are in need of more offensive line depth and he fits for what he can do inside.
