2012 NFL Draft Prospect Profiles: Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson

It is time to begin our study of the 2012 NFL Draft. As I have done each of the past two years I will provide at least one 'prospect profile' each day leading up to the April draft.
Our community mock draft will be held some time in March -- probably two rounds, as it was last year.
We begin today by looking at the latest SB Nation 2012 NFL Mock Draft, released Monday morning. In that mock draft, SB Nation has the Giants selecting Dwayne Allen, tight end, Clemson with the 32nd overall selection.
So, let's take a closer look at Allen.
With both Jake Ballard and Travis Beckum likely down for the start of the 2012 season after tearing ACLs in the Super Bowl, we know the Giants will do something about the tight end position. If you have paid attention over the years you also know that does not mean they will draft a tight end in the first round simply because there is a positional need. General manager Jerry Reese drafts for value, not need.
Thing is, a player like Allen could wind up being the perfect blend of value and need with the 32nd pick. Most draft websites rank Allen anywhere from the No. 1 to No. 3 tight end available in the upcoming draft.
Mocking The Draft recently referred to Allen as "far and away the best TE in the class" due to a combination of receiving and blocking abilities.
Dwayne Allen By The Numbers
Height: 6-foot-4
Weight: 255
Year: Junior
2011 Stats: 14 games, 49 catches, 592 yards (12.08 yards per catch), eight touchdowns.

Ha!
This is the kid I mentioned a couple of months ago. I’m not a big draft guy, but he seems like the top TE talent this year. Not sure we ever get a sniff of him from the 32 hole if he does well at the combine.
Go Giants!
yeah I think in any other year we could have gotten him
But in this “year of the tight end” probably a team ahead of us will want to pick up the best TE in the draft.
Go Giants!
Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still retarded.
nice....
Ochocinco could have saved a ton of money if he didn't buy his team mates "Beats by Dre" because they all ended up getting "Beat by Giants"...FOR FREE!!
Yes, the copy cat league will raise the stock on all TE
so I would expect the #1 TE in the draft to go in the top 25
I got a GIF for that!
Giants by 17 over GB, take it to the bank!
Giants by 10 over SF, take it to the bank! Well, OK, by 3, but we are Super Bowl bound!!!!!!!
Giants will score 30 (correction 21 (damn FG's/failed 2 pt conversion)) or more points, NE 20 or less. Guess who wins? Take it to the bank!

So what number pick is ours on draft day?
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
32nd pick...
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Yes and do not forget that. GIANTS are the SUPERBOWL CHAMPS and this is why we pick last in the draft.
lol. i know when we pick but it all sounds so good to ask and then do responses. Lol
This is not the 2007 team.

Oh snap Ed!
We are underway AGAIN!
Dwayne Allen would be the ideal value pick here. Unless of course, a better talent falls to us a la Prince last year when we were all battling Pouncey vs Ayers vs Castonzo.
He’s essentially a better blocking Brandon Pettigrew. Works for me.

YES!!! Draft time!!!
I like this kid, everyone here seems to think this is the BPA. Cant wait for more!
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
He's BPA if we assume all the other GMs are smart. They weren't last year, so who knows.
I can see Luck, RGIII, and Tannehill being surefire 1st round QBs. Nick Foles, Brandon Weeden or Brock Osweiler could join them, plus we’ll see a few shockers. 2010, saw it with Tyson Alualu. 2011, saw it with James Carpenter. The result will be some top shelf talent falling to us.
That being said, Allen’s elevation and route running put me in heat.

Ed you must have been reading my mind...
I was just on the draft boards looking at TE’s and zoomed in on this kid!
by oldschoolblue64 on Feb 13, 2012 12:21 PM EST reply actions
If there is anything I have learned over the past few years is....
I don’t look at anything predraft for postions we need or anything of that nature. Because we have a GM who does not care what position player we need he just takes the best player available. Wouldn’t be surprised if he took another DE or WR with the 32nd pick (Because we won the Super Blow).

It's funny how 3 times in the first round BPA as also a need
Ross, Phillips, Nicks
Eli is our King!
It's that time again.
Those who know me from this board know that I’ve been working on my boards for a month already. Every scenario I’ve tried brings this kid up as BPA at #32. Da’Quan Bowers said he spent every practice at Clemson learning new ways to block him and he will be a Beast in the NFL:. I just hope he doesn’t blow up at the combine. I’ve got him at #25 on my Big Board and 1 of 3 at the top of my Giants board.

Cordy Glenn G, Georgia & Vontaze Burfict ILB, AZ State
I’d probably have Dont’a Hightower up there with Burfict, but I like this kid’s speed and aggressiveness. He also seems to have an eye for the ball in the air and good hands.

My apologies to Jerry Reese
Haha. Doesn't mean I hate all the LBzez.
I would be glad to take Luke Kuechly or Zach Brown in the first. More than glad…thrilled actually.
I hate Burfict because he doesn’t make any calls on the field, argues with coaches, plays undisciplined with no gap control, has no tackling technique and doesn’t wrap up, plays with no motor, got demoted to the bench this year, and jogs during practice. Not because he is a linebacker.
People think he plays with aggression. Nope, just goes for the big hit, and when he misses it, he just sort of gives up on the play. He’s more Albert Haynesworth than Ray Lewis.

the thing with the Giants
as currently put together, is smallish faster linebackers is a good fit. That Dline eats up the majority of run attempts and blockers, leaving these guys to run free.
We already use a 3 Safety set, which basically utilizes an athletic undersized LB, or an unathletic oversized safety. So a smaller faster LB with some upside would fit right in IMO
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
This is exactly why I loved the Chad Jones pick.

I learned my lesson years ago not to focus in on one player. I like Brown, with some concern about his stoutness, but I believe he would be a wasted pick for us.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
Honestly, we don't really "need" a LB at all.
I’m perfectly fine with Kiwi/Herzlich-Goff/Herzlich-Boley/JWill.
Considering how much nickel we use, it’d be superfluous to use the first round pick on a LBzez anyway. If we are looking at positional needs…I’d go OL, TE, WR, or DB before I go LB

Really just on my board due to BPA
which seems to be JR’s Mantra. I really think it’s Allen or an OL, even though we haven’t taken an OL in the first round since an injury prone false start machine Pettigout. I don’t think Reese is gunshy, but he is an historian with regards to the draft.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
I think the past couple drafts, we haven't taken OL
because the value hasn’t been there as opposed to him being gunshy as you’ve said. As far as my board goes, I’d take only:
DeCastro, Glenn, Kalil, Reiff, Martin, Adams, Osemele, Konz. That’s it. And most or all would be gone by the time we pick, so I don’t see OL again, simply because value doesn’t match up.
So same as me, on the board simply cause of BPA

Besides, we like getting our big men in the middle rounds.
We have a top 3 O-line coach in Flaherty. I hope he never retires.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
Same.
But our one high pick in the draft at OL was Chris Snee. Imagine if Flaherty got to play around with another high pick. Cordy Glenn has the potential to be another Carl Nicks.

Based on what I've seen, yes.
Though he isn’t my favorite prospect in the draft that’s within our draft range. If I had to pick between him, Glenn, and Allen, he’d be in 3rd. Though they are all close.

No that wasn't the point. The point was to show that height/weight differences that small
aren’t terrible.

Not in top 10 talent, but we're not talking about guys that play bigger than their size here.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
I got ya.
Though I’d say Brown plays bigger than his size as well. He had an amazing senior bowl. The dude can cover. Best coverage ‘backer in the draft. And that’s what we want out of our guys.

We just want whoever's package is bigger in size.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
We're not getting close to Keuchly or Brown, so not even an option
Both will be way gone by 25. There are some mocks having Brown fall to the 2nd round, but that’s just wishful thinking. Besides, he is a smallish OLB and we just don’t go for those kind of players. Also, BBI, are you just going for top of the list players? We pick #32, which is like picking in the 2nd round. Keuchly is #8 on my Big Board and Brown is #28, Burfict #26 and Hightower #34
Bleeding Blue since 1962
Obviously we aren't getting Kuechly....though, sun....I had Prince as #8 on my bigboard last year
and I’m sure you had him higher than 19th as well. Look at what happened. I can see Brown falling to us…unlikely? Yeah. Possible? No doubt.
Brown can play ILB. He’s THAT smart. And he’s athletic as all hell. With Fewell not going anywhere, he’s the perfect Cover 2 MIKE

Mark my words, with proper coaching, this kid is going to be a beast.
People doubted me when I said Rolando McClain would be a stud in the NFL and 99 tackles 77 solo 5 sacks 13 passes defensed and 3 stuffs later nobody is squawking.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
isnt McClain having issues with the law?
or do I have him confused with someone else?
Regardless of what happens, No playoffs, playoffs, no superblow, superblow.... The 2011/2012 is one of my favorite Giants Teams of all time.
with the picture of him grinning?
New York Giants 2011 NFL Champions!!
My apologies to Jerry Reese
Who doubted you? As far as I can remember, everyone wanted McClain. I was devastated when we didn't get him lol
McClain didn’t have any character concerns coming out of college though. Giants, with their draft history, look at Size/Speed/Character, as the holy trinity. They don’t care too much about production…as long as they are non-dbag, high motor athlete from a big school, its fine.
I have plenty of doubts about Burfict’s character, and motor. He’s athletic, there are no doubts about that….but that ain’t the only thing.

There were several nonsensical arguments
He only excelled in NCAA because of the team he played for and the Man Mountain NT in front of him.
He won’t be able to play through his illness
He’ll get swallowed up in the NFL
Jim Hermann would set this kid(Burfict) straight and get some great play out of him.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
Ah I see.
Well, lets just agree to disagree on Burfict. I think he has no fundamentals, too many character concerns to be the pick. Too risky to be a 1st round pick.

Ahh... I love draft time
We have the rare honor of having one of the best drafting GM’s ever to be thrown out of a blimp.
I’d love to get Allen. At times Clemson’s offense was a blast to watch (Oregron East)
That being said, I think Coby Fleener is a more likely pick
1) I don’t see Allen making it past the Broncos who not only need a receiver, but also a security blanket for Tebow, and an extra blocker for their running game.
2) Coby Fleener is more of a Giants draft choice with better a height/weight/speed/arm length combo and higher upside.
IMO: Allen is more pro-ready, but I Fleener has higher upside. Bit of a push and I’d take either one. Also for TE’s I could also see JR LaDarious Green picked in ~4. Project weight wise, but he runs like a wideout and gives great effort every play.
I'm not a fan of Fleener. I get the whole athleticism thing. I think Allen has that, plus the blocking. Also think the route running for Allen is better.
I don’t want Fleener in the first, but eh, who knows.

but the more game tape I’ve watched of him, he’s grown on me.
He’s definitely more raw than Allen, but he gives good effort in his blocks, he just needs to add mass (and unlike Allen, he’s got the frame to add mass without losing athleticism).
He doesn’t have the power (yet) to really sustain a block against a lineman, but he can chip a lineman well enough and block a linebacker.
If he runs worth a damn, I’d also keep an eye on George Bryan of NC State. sticky hands, great size, good blocking, great at exploiting zones… he’s basically a Ballard clone
I'd generally agree with this assessment.
He’s got the frame and IS a willing blocker. He just isn’t that great with it yet. I wouldn’t be upset if we chose him, I just prefer Allen. He’s got amazing body control and has more strength than Fleener to box out defenders and fight for the ball.
If JR thinks Fleener can fill out a bit more, I’ve got not problem with the skillset he brings.

Fleener
I don’t know I kinda like the sounds of that. It’d be like a high pitch me on the field.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
Fleener
The highlight film i saw of Fleener showed him just abusing the seams up the middle of the field. I think someone like that combined with our wideouts would be pretty dangerous.

Completely disagree.
Beckum is 6’3 and really didn’t have the frame to add any more weight. He was always going to be the kind of guy you had to move around to find the matchups you like.
Fleener is 6’6", 252…which is the EXACT same size as Kevin Boss was coming out. Fleener has the size to add weight while maintaining his athleticism. The biggest knock on KB? Didn’t have the size to be an effective blocker.
The Giants have proven effective at getting their TEs to add some weight too. Pascoe and Christian Hopkins both added 20+ lbs in their first year.
I'm with BBI
Allen is the more “complete” TE. The way we use TE’s, Fleener would be another one of those, “If he could block worth a crap we could get him on the field more” type of players. Allen has a little Bavaro in him.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
Know who else I see a bit of Bavaro in? Hynoski. The dude loves to hit people.
I wouldn’t mind another one of those guys.

last 4 min of the sb
is on the NFL network right now. Good lunchtime tv!
I have not yet begun to procrastinate
I would love to jump into the draft feet first
but I can’t help but feel like FA is going to have a huge impact.
I’m warming up to this Allen character
but I’m thinking after FA comes and goes, DB may be the position JR looks to bolster in the early rounds.
Fire Fewell
If we can lock up T2, who knows. I know for a fact we aren't going 1 deep into the season with Pascoe at TE.
As much as JR hypes up this Christian Hopkins dude…I know nothing about him

I feel like even if they do wrap up TT they could still go DB
only because of his knee situation.
I almost look at it like TT is a lock to be back
but the more i think about it, I feel Ross may not be. or Grant.
so while TT could probably spell both positions, I Just don’t know if that’s their ideal situation after seeing Hixon and Sintim come back and promptly go right back on IR.
Fire Fewell
That's true. Plus, this draft is very, very deep in talented DBs. I can see us picking up one in the early rounds, sure.

this guy or some immediate help to the Oline
Winning the whole show helps to hide it, but the Oline was a f***ing disaster this season.
They looked best with Boothe and Petrus in the middle, but overall they could barely keep Eli upright, much less make any room for the running game.
I’d love to see the draft go TE, OL, OL, OL, BPA etc. but as we all know the Giants draft always goes BPA, BPA, BPA, BPA…

Overall, the kid looks like a baller and would be a great addition at #32.

It looks like Allen's only limitation was his QB
and BTW, Fleener is just another Beckum. What would make anyone think we’d even consider that.
Bleeding Blue since 1962
I don't see Beckum at all in Fleener
Fleener is 6’6" 245 and could get up to 260 easily. He can catch and is a willing blocker. While a bit raw to be called a complete TE, he can be
Beckum is 6’3, 230. He was essentially a big slot receiver or H-Back.
Just because Fleener was Stanford’s best receiver doesn’t make him a glorified WR.
But don’t get me wrong, my argument is that when all is said and done, Allen = Fleener, and we’d be doing good to get either of them. Its just that to me Allen is more pro-ready, while Fleener has the higher upside, and looks more like a Giants draft pick.
(not that it matters, JR isn’t going to be picking either of them. I’m thinking George Iloka, Micheal Brockers, or depending on the combine Luke Kuechly)
Also, I agree about Taj Boyd
Just like Alshon Jeffery’s biggest problem (in addition to Lattimore going down) was South Carolina’s complete lack of a QB.
I like some Whitney Mercilus myself

Oh me too
Not only is he the best passrusher in the draft, he has the best name.
Its possible he could be there at 32… Coples, Ingram, and Upshaw could all go before him. Perry could as well… depending on the USC hype.
If Mercilus is there… can’t have enough pass rushers (especially ones that got 16 sacks, 9 ff’s, and 22.5 TFL’s)
Knowing JR, he'd probably like Perry better
But I really like Mercilus’ name and game. haha

If he's that good...
…will he still be available at 32?
With TEs being in vogue recently I get a sense he’s not going to be there when we finally draft.
He may or may not be.
Though TE is a specialized position (unlike WR, DB, DL, OL) where if you’ve got a couple, you’re all right. And TE almost never goes early. Those picking late….Pats, Ravens, Broncos, Texans, 49ers, Steelers, Saints, etc all have much bigger issues than TE to address. I’m fairly confident he’ll be available.

Guy I love in this draft
Who I wouldn’t mind us reaching for at 32 is Josh Chapman out of ‘Bama. DT isn’t a big need, but I think since Rocky Bernard and Jimmy Kennedy are likely on their way out, and Canty and Austin are more pass-rushing types, Chapman could rotate in as a run-stuffing DT next to Joseph. He was one of the best run defenders in college. He’s as tough as nails too. Dude played with a torn ACL for 8 games, and his play didn’t noticeably suffer.

We need a tight end who can run-block
We have a big investment in Bradshaw and Jacobs, and need the run-blocking to unleash them. Plus, this year we were last in the NFL in rushing, after seeing Boss, O’Hara and Seubert leave. Here’s hoping they address that in the draft and free agency.
Before the Super Bowl game itself
I felt there had to be an improvement at the TE position. I felt that Jake Ballard was a solid back up but nothing more. Travis Beckum adds that element of athletic but not starter type that you need on the team. Bear Pascoe is the one I was hoping would be pushed off the roster. Dwayne Allen is the ideal pick for us as Hakeem Nicks was for us in 2009. That ain’t happening though, he will blow up at the combine and be long gone by the time we pick. This dude is a beast, he hasn’t reached his potential at all and he could even be a featured attraction in an offense. At Clemson he wasn’t utilized because they don’t have a true QB. This is my pick but I fear he will elude us.
