I'm not discrediting them. But as everyone likes to say about PFF, they are good for stats/charting but take their grades with a giant grain of salt. The hard stats say that he didn't get targeted much (which is hard to say if it's because his coverage was so great or because colleges are historically bad at utilizing TE/RB weapons in the passing game...even when they have great ones), but when he was targeted teams were very successful doing it.

My overall point is that pass rushing is way, way more important for an EDGE, and even if you think Allen is okay at coverage you have to admit he is way, way better at pass rushing. So unless you're trying to do a rare safety blitz type of play, which they should mix in occasionally, he should be an exclusive pass rusher. This SAM in base that drops back into coverage in the triple digit number of times in a season would not be the right way to use him.
