Second Round (38) – Keenan Allen, WR, California
After running a slower than ideal 40 time Keenan Allen slides into the second round and right into the Patriots lap. Allen is a trues “X” receiver that adds size and physicality to the perimeter of the Patriots offense. He won’t stretch the field with speed or explosion, but what he can do is catch the ball. Allen is one of the best route runners in the draft, has played in a pro style passing system and knows how to beat different coverages. His body positioning is very good as is the way he tempos his routes. Once thought of as the top receiver in the draft a PCL injury and the inability to workout at 100% pre-draft drop him to pick 38. The Patriots are likely to have a group of receivers graded closely together. If their top choice is off the board it makes sense for them to move down and pick up the extra selection.

Not surprisingly I’m totally on board with Loyko’s final mock draft. As Keenan Allen began to fall in the rankings I took a closer look at him and I really think he’s a good Patriots fit. 

Other choices are all solid, and are very close positionally to my final mock that will drop tomorrow.

The only drawback with that for this year is they only have five total picks, perhaps the byproduct of so many previous draft-day deals, so there ability to manipulate the draft board might not be as great as it’s been in the past. Either way, the Patriots will be among the major players as they look to fill a variety of needs. Often, their best picks have come in the later rounds, so it’ll be interesting to see what they do in the second and third.

Cyprien has zoomed up the charts faster than almost any other prospect in recent weeks. He’s good in coverage and also against the run – which is very important.

Don’t really see it, like the player but are they really going to carry six safeties? So you pencil in Gregory being cut, and assume Tavon was a huge second round miss? Wouldn’t rule out the Gregory part of it, but I don’t think they’ll take a safety, especially not in the first.
