Eagles Ink Seventh Rounder Beau Allen

Last week, the Eagles selected Wisconsin nose tackle Beau Allen with the No. 224 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft.  Today, they have signed the stout nose tackle to a four-year contract.

Allen is true nose tackle, who told us on the Sports Bash that he would offer some pass-rushing ability, but the Eagles should be thrilled if he could turn into a rotational, two-down run stuffer behind Bennie Logan.

So does the seventh round pick have a chance to make the team?  He should have a very good shot.  With Logan and Damion Square as really the only competition for snaps at the nose tackle position.

The 6-foot-2, 333-pound Allen will be battling with Square, a rookie free agent from last season, for snaps.
