Hopefully, the rebuilding process continues for the New England Patriots defense via the 2012 NFL Draft.

That's all beside the point though...I would still respectfully disagree with the notion that Allen is a lock on this team regardless.

As noted by myself and others, many will not agree on who will make the roster--so many of these exercises are futile.
Has anyone said Allen is a lock?

It has been mentioned, and I was getting the impression last week that there were some who viewed his signing as pretty much a lock; but as you say, we (many of us, not you) are likely wrongly using the term itself.

The only real locks are probably players 1-30 or so, and even then there will be differing opinions on exactly who those players are.

Yes, but it doesn't necessarily mean anything.
