Eagles draft picks 2014: Do you approve of the Beau Allen selection in the seventh round?

We know who the Eagles picked. Now it's time to overreact.

Jeff Hanisch-US PRESSWIRE

The Philadelphia Eagles finished up their 2014 NFL Draft class by selecting defensive lineman Beau Allen from Wisconsin. Allen is a really big player. He measures in at a whopping 6-3, 333 pounds.

I'll be honest, I can't tell you that I'm very familiar with Allen. It seems like he's the large nose tackle the Eagles wanted to add as a backup for projected starter Bennie Logan. Allen will likely compete with Damion Square for the backup nose tackle job.

He appeared in a school record 54 games at Wisconsin and never missed a contest in four seasons. He started in 26 games and produced 94 tackles (15 for loss) and eight sacks during his career.
