Top Five Georgia Prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft
Under Kirby Smart, the Bulldogs have found back to their ways, recruiting high-end talent in the southeast and being a perennial playoff contender. While some players get buried on depth charts and do not get a chance to play a significant amount until late in their collegiate careers, others prosper early on. Georgia looks as loaded as any SEC team when it comes to draftable players. Plenty of talented juniors and seniors got left off of this list because of it.
Lewis Cine, Safety
Lewis Cine could be the next great safety in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Possessing the size and physical traits in terms of movement skills required to be a high draft pick, Cine could realistically challenge to be the first safety off the board come April. He was deployed in several different roles and alignments during his sophomore season, showing his versatility and ability to adapt and learn. Cine trusts his eyes and comes downhill aggressively. With more experience, he will hope to have more ball production in 2021.

Adam Anderson, 3-4 Outside Linebacker
Adam Anderson has the tools to be one of the better pass rushers in the upcoming draft.
If one can get past the frame at 6050, 230 lbs, Anderson has almost everything else to be a difference-making pass rusher. His exceptional explosiveness, bend and ability to convert that speed to power make him a very tough assignment for any SEC tackle. Anderson can be a designated pass rusher early on while improving his three-down value by getting stronger and processing quicker.

George Pickens, Wide Receiver
George Pickens should be considered one of the best wide receivers in the NFL Draft class.
Despite tearing his ACL in the spring, Pickens should be considered as one of the top wide receivers in the country. He has the size and athleticism to be an X receiver at the next level. Not only does he win downfield at the catch point, but Pickens can also separate underneath and secure the football with his plucky hands. However, while he is very competitive in all phases of the game, he needs to tune it back not to hurt his team, committing unnecessary penalties.

Jordan Davis, Defensive Tackle
Jordan Davis is a big man that plays with speed and power. He's very difficult to be blocked.
In a surprising move, the humongous defensive tackle decided to return to Athens for his senior season. Davis is too big and too strong to handle the best of the best centers and guards in college. In addition, he is an immovable object along the interior, making him tough to run against. Enforcing his will on blockers, Davis possesses the length and power to push the pocket in pass-rushing situations. However, he will not generate quick wins due to the lack of explosiveness coming with his size.

Travon Walker, Defensive End
Travon Walker is a versatile defensive end that can play all across the defensive line.
The five-technique has the versatility to kick out to a seven or reduce all the way inside. Walker displays rare length up and down the line of scrimmage, outreaching and controlling offensive lineman at the point of attack. He creates knockback and uses his leg drive and athleticism to drive blockers back into the pocket, dominating them with his length, strength and athleticism. In his third collegiate season, he has to develop a counter move and be less predictable with his hand usage. If he can take another step forward, Walker’s draft stock will rise to giddy heights.
