NFL Mock Draft 2018: Complete first round after Week 11

Yes, two Josh Allen’s are going in the first round of the NFL Draft in this mock, but this one doesn’t play quarterback.

Kentucky’s Josh Allen was just a two-star prospect coming out of high school in New Jersey, selecting the Wildcats over Buffalo and Monmouth. However, great athleticism runs in his family, as two of his sisters play college basketball at Louisville and Virginia Tech, with an uncle being a former professional basketball player.

He made 62 tackles last year and seven sacks despite only starting nine of 13 games for Kentucky, not a bad number for a high school wide receiver – he did lead the state of New Jersey in quarterback sacks from his defensive end position –  who also spent time in Alabama during his prep career.

We’ve seen a bit of a career resurgence out of Drew Brees, so maybe he does have a few more years left in him. If that is the case, pairing Allen up with Manti Te’o and A.J. Klein at linebacker gives the defense more pieces to work with.

Allen has picked up seven sacks, 10.5 tackles for loss and 52 total stops on the year. He’s also forced two fumbles.
