Green Bay Packers – Josh Allen, EDGE, Kentucky

Despite entering Week 13 with the third-most sacks in the NFL, expect the Green Bay Packers to target an edge rusher in the upcoming draft. The impending free agency of Clay Matthews and injury problems for Nick Perry mean that the Pack could use a high-upside edge rusher like Kentucky’s Josh Allen.

Featuring a similar completion percentage to Bills quarterback Josh Allen, the Kentucky linebacker has been far and away one of the best defensive players in the SEC this season. As part of a resurgent Wildcats squad, Allen has doubled his 2017 sack total (from 7.0 to 14.0), forced five fumbles, and logged a whopping 18.5 tackles for loss.

Allen possesses good length (6-foot-4, 258 pounds) and explosiveness that make him one of the best edge rushers in this class. His speed and flexibility give good tools for success when rushing the quarterback, despite not being all that great in run support or setting the edge. Simply put, there’s a whole lot of promising traits to work with and a team like the Packers could develop him into an All-Pro caliber player by the time his rookie deal is up.
