Chiefs select guard Jeff Allen with 44th pick
Jeff Allen, offensive guard, Illinois (6-5, 315)
Allen was one of the NFP’s favorite linemen in this year's draft because his tape was as impressive as any tackle in the country. He lacks ideal size to play tackle in the NFL and will likely be moved to guard. However, he can bend, redirect in space and should mature into a “plus” starter inside.
