Georgia set a school record with three first-round picks in the 2018 draft—LB Roquan Smith, T Isaiah Wynn and RB Sony Michel. Fast forward to this year, and the Bulldogs have three locks to go in the first round on their defensive line alone, with Travon Walker, Jordan Davis and Devonte Wyatt all top-15 picks in my most recent mock draft.
While the second level of their defense doesn’t get as much attention, no school has a more talented trio of draft-eligible linebackers than the Bulldogs.
Georgia linebacker Nakobe Dean won the Butkus Award, given to the nation’s best college linebacker. Not only is he likely to go in the first round, but he has a chance to be the first linebacker off the board next month. Dean’s teammate Quay Walker has a chance to sneak into the back of the first round, despite being a one-year starter, and Channing Tindall should be a Day 2 pick as well.
