    If Allen is in, that's a solid replacement

    Rotoworld says "Allen is the poor man's version of Kelechi Osemele as someone capable of playing both guard and tackle. Unlike Osemele, however, Allen probably isn't an option at left tackle, and that will keep his price within reason."

    I would take that for sure with Duane back.
