Not comparing Allen to Wayne but...why would teams pass up on one of the better and more consistent WRs in the past decade?
Same reason they did back then? I'm confused what you mean.
2001 Draft:
8th overall-David Terrell
9th overall-Koren Robinson
15th overall-Rod Gardner
16th overall-Santana Moss
25th overall-Freddie Mitchell
30th overall-Reggie Wayne
Wayne was drafted after a bunch of busts and the same spot where Allen is projected to go (28-38). Granted, I wasn't following the draft back in 2001, but maybe teams saw Wayne as many do with Allen; just a possession WR that runs great routes but didn't seem "wow" in any way.
The ceilings of Austin, Patterson, and Hunter are very enticing to teams. Hell, some are comparing Hunter to friggin Randy Moss....
