Round 2, Pick 37 - Philadelphia Eagles - Nate Allen




Nate Allen, S, South Florida
Ht: 6’ 0 ½” Wt: 207

EMQB’s analysis on the pick:  Nate Allen is a first-round talent available in the second round because of an extremely deep draft pool.  The Eagles are known for drafting for value but Allen fills a need because of the departure of Brian Dawkins. 

Pro Football Weekly’s scouting report: Chiseled, rangy, finesse center fielder with fluid movement skills, desirable explosion and cover skills. May fit better as a cornerback than safety in the pros given his lack of physicality.
NFL projection: Top-50 pick.


Lindy’s Sports scouting report:  The ability to attack the line of scrimmage, make plays in deep coverage and track down running backs from behind makes scouts take note in the film room.  Speed, versatility, intelligence and toughness?  Sounds like a potential NFL starter.
