Despite his repeated claims to be the best player available, a monstrous banner in downtown Nashville and the Citrus Bowl Twitter account changing itself into his No. 1 cheerleader, it seems unlikely that University of Kentucky star Josh Allen will be selected with the top pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday.

And that’s fine. Allen, a versatile defender, shouldn’t fall outside of the top 10 picks, and probably will go somewhere in the top six. He’s all but assured of becoming UK’s 17th first-round selection in the NFL Draft and could be its highest overall selection since the Cleveland Browns took Tim Couch with the top pick in 1999.
