See where this Georgia Bulldog is expected to land on draft night according to the latest NFL Mock Draft.

The 2024 college football season has ended, which means draft season has begun for hundreds of football players looking to take the next step in their careers. As players and teams prepare for the NFL Draft, many experts and analysts have begun giving their predictions as to where this year's batch of prospects will land.

One player predicted to have a prosperous draft night is Georgia Bulldogs linebacker Jalon Walker. According to the latest mock draft released by NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah, Walker is expected to be selected by the Arizona Cardinals as the 16th overall pick in this year's draft.

During the 2024 season, Walker shined at the linebacker position, racking up 61 total tackles and 6.5 sacks for the Bulldogs. In addition to his robust statistical output, the linebacker was the clear-cut leader of the Georgia defense and his efforts during the season helped him become just the third Georgia Bulldog to receive the Butkus Award. Should Walker's draft prediction hold, he will become another name in the long list of Georgia Bulldogs defenders that have been taken in the first round under head coach Kirby Smart.

The first round of the 2025 NFL Draft will be held in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Thursday, April 24th. Coverage times for this event will be released as further details emerge.
