Georgia NFL mock draft: Stock up/down after the Senior Bowl
By Josh Yourish
This is why I mentioned Pittsburgh’s back-to-back picks. They could easily justify taking two Bulldogs in a row. The Steelers may need depth at center even more than they need a nickel cornerback. The experience Van Pran would easily fill that spot and he has starting potential.
Van Pran has been the full-time starter at Georgia since 2021 and the redshirt junior decided to forgo his final year of eligibility for the NFL. There is a chance he could be taken on Day 2, but offensive tackles and interior linemen with versatility are often prioritized, so Van Pran, who has exclusively played center at Georgia could slide to Pittsburgh in the fourth round.
This would be a steal for a center-needy team and Van Pran would have a chance to win the starting job in training camp over Mason Cole, who has been underwhelming during his two seasons in Pittsburgh.
