2024 NFL Draft Profile - RB Braelon Allen

[Mike FF Today 709]

This dude might turn out to be a nice value pick late Day 2 or early Day 3...

RB Braelon Allen

[polecatt 472]

Looks like a potential goal line RB for fantasy purposes.

If he can get on the right team, could be a steal

I dont like his fumbling.   but sometimes that can be fixed with coaching.   I'd say 50% of the time it cannot be fixed.

but thats likely one of the reasons he wont be a day 1 pick and may not be a day 2 pick either.

once you get into day 3 picks the upside is usually worth the risk and you pick him with a thought to developing or fixing the flaws in that diamond in the rough.

If a team with a good coach sees why hes fumbling and thinks he can fix it, he may go on day 2.   but day 3 is likely where he belongs in this draft.

He's definitely one of the most interesting talents in this draft. I agree with everyone, this guy has the talent to be a stud for fantasy, it's all going to depend on landing spot and draft capital. I'll be paying close attention in Dynasty.

I thought for sure he was going to be my RB1 when I started these profiles, but the bulk of what I had seen of him before this month was from 2021. Needless to say, he doesn't look the same player.

and that happens sometimes

especially with the 5 star recruits who get a ton of carries in high school and pre HS.  then a pile of carries the whole college career.

all that, and maybe an injury and there may not be enough in the tank for the kid to play out the full length of his rookie contract to get to the big money.

maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but not THAT much
