Josh Allen now projected as a top-3 pick; Derrick Baity getting first-round buzz

Josh Allen returned to Kentucky for his senior season with two goals in mind: to win football games, and to improve his NFL Draft stock. So far, mission accomplished.

Not only are the Kentucky Wildcats 7-1 and playing for the SEC East championship on Saturday, but Allen is a non a consensus first round pick with projections as high as No. 3 overall. He has also made his way onto the Heisman Watch list.

Ryan Wilson of CBS Sports listed Allen as the No. 3 pick assuming the Oakland Raiders end up in that draft slot.
