NFL Mock Draft 2017: Predictions & Rumors for Top 10 Picks

No. 8 Carolina Panthers: DE Jonathan Allen


School: Alabama


Position: Defensive End


Class: Senior


Outlook: There has been a lot of scrutiny on Jonathan Allen's shoulders and whether it will impact his durability in the NFL. Alabama team doctor Lyle Cain spoke with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport about Allen's shoulders. "Jonathan has really played without symptoms in his shoulders, and it's something that has not affected his performance or function. It doesn't have to be treated during the season. And he's had a couple of great years," Cain told NFL Network. Allen's 21 reps on the bench press could help squash the perception that his shoulders will impact his playing abilities. If everything checks out like Allen's camp indicates, he should be the next defensive end off the board after Myles Garrett. (Getty)
