ESPN predicts 7 Georgia Bulldogs will be drafted
ESPN's Matt Miller released a seven-round mock draft for 2026, and two Georgia Bulldogs made the first-round of the draft.
Several Georgia Bulldogs have entered the pool for the 2026 NFL draft, so this could be another year we see tons of Bulldogs get drafted. ESPN's Matt Miller has seven Bulldogs in his full seven-round mock draft, including two in the first-round. Seven players would be the fewest number of Georgia players that have been drafted since the 2020 NFL draft, where Georgia had seven players selected.
The last time Georgia had under seven players picked in the draft was back in the 2018 draft when Georgia had six players selected. Miller's mock draft has several Georgia players going undrafted including offensive guard Micah Morris, receiver Colbie Young and punter Brett Thorson. No.
15, C. J. Allen, Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Buccaneers desperately need a linebacker after standout veteran Lavonte David announced his retirement, so the logical play is Allen.
David was a field general, earning over 100 tackles in 12 of his 14 years in the NFL, so Allen has some big shoes to fill. However, Allen was an effective signal caller and defensive captain in Georgia. He's a great blitzer, earning 3 1/2 sacks last season, and he does well in covering tight ends.
