Don't get the Josh Allen hype. He will drop by years end

Why do you say that? I think the kid has a really high ceiling and I like his work ethic. I am not saying he will be a top 10 pick but I think his stock rises by seasons end.

Lorenzo Carter is going to be an interesting one to watch this year. He was a beast last night. Can he put on enough weight without sacrificing speed to be a 4-3 rush end?
