or heck we could of waited until round 3 for S Morgan Burnett
bottomline is that there were much less "gadgety" players that are going to be quality starters in the NFL available at virtually every position and we took a speedier version of Dante Hall..

If you're looking at pure stats, Allen's stats are not that different from Kendrick Lewis. Nate Allen is going to be a decent Safety. He's not going to be a playmaker. He doesn't have enough pure speed. He's just a guy who is very solid at his position.
And the Dante Hall comparisons are ridiculous. Dante Hall was a really shitty receiver who ran below average routes and was only capable of catching short hitch routes or long fly routes. According to Rick Gosselin, McCluster was listed as one of the top 3 WRs on many teams' boards. He can do a hell of a lot more things than Dante Hall did. Dante was a great player once the ball was in his hands, but he was very below average at doing anything before that point. From an offensive standpoint, he was NOT a playmaker.
