I thought this pick was a reach but I will trust Kromer, McVay, and Snead on this one. They havent really given us any reason yet to doubt them so I will root for this guy since hes a Ram now. Hoping hes our starting C after Sully for the next decade :D
According to Demarco Farr you won't see Brian Allen being pushed around or being intimidated. Instead Farr said that Allen is always pushing the DTs around and intimidating. He's had some from other programs say it hurts to go up against Allen. Basically he'll get down and dirty to overcome his opponent.
 
Sorry I'm not as excited as the rest of you on this pick, I'm still not sure about this selection to be honest as a long term replacement for Sullivan. Sullivan's shoes from last year are huge ones to fill.

He just looks physically small on his highlight reel, and we know the step up to the NFL is huge, he's short too (6'1") for an NFL C, IMO. He does look like he's a bit of a LOS bully, but I haven't seem him move away from the comfort of his phone booth much and Sullivan was everywhere last year.

Sorry to rain on the parade, I hope I'm proved wrong.

Jason Kelce who is arguably the best center in the game plays at around 295 lbs and 6’3. So Allen is heavier and 2 inches shorter. I think he will be good as a center but may not cut it as a guard.
