He'd be a fantastic fit for teams like the Patriots, Chargers, Steelers or Saints. Learn from a HoF quarterback for two or even three years, work on his game, get ready for the league. But 1st overall?! To Cleveland?! I'd be shocked if that worked out.
There also aren't really any examples of QBs with the completion percentage that Allen has going on to be viable starters at the pro level, so if you're Cleveland, you're essentially betting your first overall pick that Allen can be the exception/outlier. Seems colossaly stupid to me.
