I think he is very effective in the run game and his relentless effort will get him a lot of clean up sacks. He will probably be a 5-tech anyway.

He didn't really stand out on the BC tape of him that I watched, and he was entirely unimpressive at the Senior Bowl. I watched all the OL vs. DL reps for both teams, every time Allen got a chance, all he did was try to run through the tackle, and it failed. Even Anthony Nelson showed better hands usage and moves. To me, the team who drafts Allen will regret it if they do so before Round 4.

I can agree with this, but I would take the warts of a Clelin Ferrell, Montez Sweat, or Jachai Polite over the warts of a Zach Allen, especially in Round 1.
