Jonathan Allen — Defensive Lineman — Alabama

There’s no questioning Allen’s talent and production, but he does have some size concerns.

Even with those concerns, however, he’s still a top ten talent with the potential to be a star in the NFL.

Allen would be a good fit as a defensive end in the Titans’ 3-4 defensive scheme.

He proved at Alabama to be more than capable against the pass and the run.

From NFL.com:

"Outstanding leader and athlete with an ability to rush the passer from outside or inside. Has produced against the run and pass thanks to his strength, agility, elite hand usage, and plus footwork. He might not be the cleanest fit inside as a full-time tackle for some teams, but his talent should trump any size concerns. Allen is a likely first-round selection with Pro Bowl potential down the road."

Defensive line isn’t a huge position of need for the Titans, but Allen could be too talented to pass up.
