The NFL Draft is almost here as Georgia fans are ready to learn where this year’s batch of Bulldogs will be heading.
Like every other year, Georgia is expected to be one of the teams with the most selections. But who will actually be taken and will there be any players snubbed?
Beginning April 23 we will all find out, but AI did their best effort to predict which Bulldogs will be drafted and they believe the following eight players will hear their name called this weekend.
Player | Round | Overall Pick | Team |
|---|---|---|---|
CJ Allen | 1 | 16 | Tampa Bay Buccaneers |
Monroe Freeling | 1 | 18 | Detroit Lions |
Christen Miller | 1 | 28 | Atlanta Falcons |
Zachariah Branch | 2 | 42 | New Orleans Saints |
Oscar Delp | 2 | 63 | Kansas City Chiefs |
Daylen Everette | 5 | 138 | Green Bay Packers |
Dillon Bell | 6 | 182 | Carolina Panthers |
Colbie Young | 7 | 229 | LA Rams |
AI predicts 8 Georgia Bulldogs will be selected at the 2026 NFL Draft
AI predicts a very top heavy draft for Georgia this year. Of the eight Bulldogs they predict to be selected, five will be taken in the first two rounds with three going in the first round.
CJ Allen and Monroe Freeling have both felt like first round locks since the season ended, but Christen Miller is a new name that has been getting a lot of love recently. Any draft that sees three Bulldogs taken in the first round is a really strong showing for Georgia, so hopefully these three hear their name called Thursday night.
Next up are two pass catchers in Zachariah Branch and Oscar Delp who are both projected to go in the second round of the draft this year.
After those two AI believes Georgia will have to wait a few rounds to hear another Bulldog called, but they predict three more will be taken in the final three rounds of the draft.
Eight players selected would be a very solid showing, but it is a significant step back from the 13 that were drafted last year. This would also be the fewest draftees since 2020 when only seven Bulldogs were taken. However, Georgia must be doing something right if eight players being selected is on the low end compared to previous years.
There is a good shot that a few other players will be drafted that AI missed. This includes Cash Jones, Chaz Chambliss, Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, Peyton Woodring, Micah Morris and Dominic Lovett.
If the cards fall Georgia’s way they could hit double digit draftees again this year, but that does feel like a long shot. But fans will soon find out as the draft is scheduled to being Thursday, April 23.
