‘OK, let’s get this out of the way now: To many fans and media – myself included – Allen should not have been the Bills’ most obvious draft choice. I’m more than willing to admit I was dead wrong. My enduring memory of draft night is general manager Brandon Beane coming out to speak about the pick and looking genuinely perplexed/annoyed when asked about the negative reaction to it. As it turns out, Beane was 100% right. He nailed it. Those who doubted Allen – again, myself included – were way off base.’
